DecentAI's latest release introduces new AI models, a "Bring Your Own Model" feature, and an improved points system. This update enhances user control and expands AI capabilities within our app.

We're thrilled to announce the latest release of DecentAI, packed with new features and improvements designed to enhance your AI experience. Let's dive into what's new:

New Models and Model Mixes

We've expanded our range of AI models and optimized our model mixes for better quality and speed. Our latest release integrates Meta's cutting-edge Llama 3.1 models (8B, 70B, and 405B), adds the powerful GPT-4o Mini, and introduces the innovative Gemma 2 models (9B and 27B). For vision tasks, we've upgraded to FireLlava 13B, trained by Fireworks.ai, to provide enhanced image understanding capabilities.

We've also introduced new specialized mixes to cater to different needs. Our multilingual mix offers improved performance for non-English languages, while the fast mix combines our speediest models and providers for quick responses. For the environmentally conscious, our new eco-friendly mix utilizes small but powerful models to reduce power consumption.

One of our most exciting updates is the revamped decentralized mix. It now includes the impressive mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 and dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b, an uncensored Llama 3 fine-tune available through Heurist, a decentralized inference provider at the forefront of AI and crypto technology.

Bring Your Own Model (BYOM)

For users seeking maximum control, we're introducing the "Bring Your Own Model" feature. This new functionality allows you to connect directly to your personal AI models, whether they're running locally, on your PC, or in a private cloud. Setting up is straightforward – simply provide an OpenAI-compatible endpoint and an authentication token, if required. You can easily deploy models on your own machine using Ollama.

Follow this in-depth guide to learn how to deploy your very own model. The tutorial shows you how to do it on your own computer or on a remote machine totally permissionlessly on Akash Network.

This feature is perfect for users with fine-tuned models, those running models on local hardware for enhanced privacy, or those with custom deployments on private cloud infrastructure. It allows you to maintain control over your AI model and hosting environment while enjoying DecentAI's user-friendly interface.

Keep in mind that when using your own model, you're responsible for its performance, availability, and any associated infrastructure costs. DecentAI simply facilitates the connection between you and your model.

Revamped Points System

We've overhauled our Points system to make your DecentAI experience more rewarding. You can now earn points for daily logins, sending messages, providing feedback, and exploring various features of the app. Pro users enjoy the added benefit of doubled point earnings and higher caps.

These points serve as a recognition of your engagement with DecentAI and may unlock exciting benefits in the future. We've also introduced a special bonus: providing feedback now earns you 20% extra points. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve the app and refine our models, so we encourage you to share your thoughts generously.

Improved Gallery View

Our image generation feature has received a significant upgrade with a redesigned gallery view. This new layout makes it easier than ever to view and manage all your AI-generated images in one place. The improved organization and accessibility of your creative output allow you to revisit and share your favorite generations with ease.

Additional Improvements

We've made several other enhancements to improve your overall experience. The user interface now features a bottom input bar throughout the app, making typing more convenient. Behind the scenes, we've implemented backend improvements for better performance and reliability.

We've also addressed various bugs, including improvements to conversation titles, dark mode colors, and other minor issues. These fixes contribute to a smoother, more enjoyable interaction with DecentAI.

We're excited for you to experience these new features and improvements. Your feedback continues to be crucial in shaping the future of DecentAI, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts as you explore the latest release. Happy AI adventures!
