Clarifai Artifacts

Status	Change	Details
	Introduced a new artifact management system for Clarifai apps	You can now programmatically manage binary and file-based assets — such as model weights, checkpoints, and configuration files — using the Python SDK or the CLI. You can create, upload, download, list, inspect, and delete artifacts and their versions.

Cessation of the Community Plan

Status	Change	Details
	Retired the Community Plan	We previously offered a freemium Community Plan that included a limited number of monthly operations at no cost. All Community Plan users have now been migrated to our new Pay-As-You-Go plan, which provides a more sustainable and competitive pricing model. All users who verify their phone number receive a $5 free welcome bonus.

Python SDK

Status	Change	Details
	Improved the Python SDK Learn more here	Added the load_concepts_from_config() method to VisualDetectorClass and VisualClassifierClass to load concepts from config.yaml. Added a Dockerfile template that conditionally installs packages required for video streaming. Fixed deployment cleanup logic to ensure it targets only failed model deployments. Implemented an automatic retry mechanism for OpenAI API calls to gracefully handle transient httpx.ConnectError exceptions. Fixed attribute access for OpenAI response objects in agentic transport by using hasattr() checks instead of dictionary .get() methods.

SMS Verification

Status	Change	Details
	Introduced SMS verification	We implemented SMS verification during the account registration process to reduce bots usage and multi-account abuse.

Platform

Status	Change	Details
	Improved the home page	Previously, the Quick Compute section on the home page offered two deployment options — Basic and Advanced. We have simplified it to a single quick deployment option.
	Made Pay-As-You-Go UI updates	We styled the credit section to make it clear that it is clickable and added new columns to show both the original credit grant amount and the remaining balance. We fixed a bug that prevented users from marking a different credit card as default.
	Fixed some bugs	Fixed a bug where redirection did not work correctly after deleting a team. Removed empty lines from example code snippets that caused issues when copying and pasting them elsewhere. Fixed an issue where the “Mark as read” button in the notification bar remained clickable when it should have been disabled.
