New Feature	Improvement	Bug Fix	Enterprise Only

Local Runners

Status	Change	Details
	Introduced Local Runners	Local Runners are a powerful feature of the Clarifai platform that lets you develop, test, and execute models on your local machine. Learn more about the feature here.

AMD and Oracle Support

Status	Change	Details
	Added support for AMD and Oracle instances	You can now deploy models using AMD-based compute and Oracle Cloud infrastructure, giving you more flexibility in performance and cost options.

Token-Based Billing

Status	Change	Details
	Started rolling out token-based billing for some models	We’ve begun applying token-based pricing to certain models on our Community platform as part of a gradual rollout.

Published Models

Status	Change	Details
	Published new models	Published Gemma-3n-E2B and Gemma-3n-E4B models. Gemma is a family of lightweight, state-of-the-art open models from Google, built from the same research and technology used to create the Gemini models. Gemma 3n models are designed for efficient execution on low-resource devices.

Workflow Pipelines

Status	Change	Details
	Made improvements to pipelines (pipeline steps are reusable components that can be used in Clarifai workflows).	Refined pipeline execution logic and validation to better support complex, multi-step workflows. Enhanced access control (RBAC) to improve management of execution context and user permissions. Introduced CLI support for uploading pipeline steps, with support for multiple steps per version — enabling greater reuse and faster iteration. Added step scoping and feature-flag-controlled RPCs to enable safer rollouts across shared infrastructure. Resolved image URL resolution issues to ensure accurate references in pipeline step configurations.

Playground

Status	Change	Details
	Made improvements to the Clarifai Playground	The Playground page is now publicly accessible — no login required. However, certain features remain available only to logged-in users. Added model descriptions and predefined prompt examples to the Playground, making it easier for users to understand model capabilities and get started quickly. Added Pythonic support in the Playground for consuming the new model specification. Additionally, improved the Playground user experience with enhanced inference parameter controls, restored model version selectors, and clearer error feedback.

Compute UI

Status	Change	Details
	Made improvements to the Compute UI	Completely rebuilt the Compute UI for a more modern and intuitive user experience. Finalized key components, including redesigned list views, an improved create flow, updated tables, and overall usability enhancements. Enhanced alignment between frontend state and backend orchestration logic for a smoother, more predictable experience.

Python SDK

Status	Change	Details
	Improved the Python SDK. Learn more here.	Added per-output token context tracking for batch operations. Introduced a new set_output_context() method for models to specify token usage per output. Improved token usage tracking in ModelClass using thread-local storage. Enhanced batch processing support with an ordered token context queue. Fixed token context ordering in batch operations using a FIFO queue approach. Temporarily disabled test_client_batch_generate while implementing token tracking improvements. Fixed legacy proto support for improved compatibility. Added authentication support to the URL fetcher for SDH-protected URLs. Fixed and validated code snippets; added automated tests for snippet accuracy. Included model listing functionality in both CLI and method interfaces. Implemented terminal prompt to ask users whether to create a new app if the specified app doesn’t exist. Introduced asynchronous predict endpoints (v2). Added Model Utils module to the SDK for shared logic. Enabled model-level authentication when setting the runner. Improved local development tooling and URL helper utilities. Added proactive validation of code and requirements before upload to catch issues early. Integrated uv into the build process for faster and more reliable builds. Removed an unused parameter in the VisualClassifier class to clean up the API. Added support for /responses, /embeddings, and /images/generations endpoints in the OpenAI class. Fixed data display issues and updated OpenAI parameter handling for better control.

Platform

Status	Change	Details
	Made platform improvements	Improved compute time billing by increasing billing granularity beyond the millicent level, enabling more accurate usage billing. Introduced dynamic code snippets in the UI to showcase the latest ways to invoke models. Improved robustness by resolving sorting issues in pricing and enhancing handling of incomplete or missing context IDs. Improved the Community Home page by showing recent activity from the past 7 days, adding a "Cluster" grouping to organize compute-related operations, and making the deployments table more compact when displaying few entries. Users are now set to private by default immediately after sign-up, enhancing privacy over profile visibility. Improved the Control Center by adding a visible timestamp showing when the dashboard was last refreshed, making it easier for users to confirm their billing data is up to date. Also optimized the response size of dashboard items for faster loading and better performance.
	Fixed platform bugs	Fixed an issue that prevented users from editing the description or details of a model. Fixed an issue where the sorting selection in the apps dropdown on the Task Labeling page did not persist when switching between apps.

Organization Settings and Management

Status	Change	Details
	Made improvements to Clarifai Organizations	Personal access tokens (PATs) are now shown in the PAT dropdown menu, regardless of whether the user is operating under their personal account or within an organization context. The Join Org notification in the navbar has been updated to match the design of the Join Org modal/page, ensuring a consistent behavior. Any user with a verified email address that matches the one used in an organization invitation can now accept or decline the invitation. Users receiving organization invites will now see a persistent popup upon login until they accept or decline the invitation.
