Models

StatusChangeDetails
new-featurePublished several new, ground-breaking models
  • Published General-English-Image-Caption-Blip-2, a scalable multimodal pre-training method that enables any Large Language Models (LLMs) to ingest and understand images. It unlocks the capabilities of zero-shot image-to-text generation.
  • Published Falcon-7B-Instruct, a 7B parameters LLM based on Falcon-7B and fine-tuned on instructions and conversational data; they thus lend better to popular assistant-style tasks.
  • Published Hkunlp_Instructor-XL, an embedding model that can generate text embeddings tailored to any task (e.g., classification, clustering, text evaluation, etc.) and domains (e.g., science, finance, etc.) by simply providing the task instruction, without any fine-tuning.
  • Published Llama2-7B-Chat, a fine-tuned LLM from Meta that is optimized for dialogue use cases.
  • Published Llama2-13B-Chat, a fine-tuned LLM from Meta that is optimized for dialogue use cases.

new-featureAdded ability to customize Hugging Face and MMCV (OpenMMLab Computer Vision) deep training templates using the Python config file format
  • You can now add your own custom model configuration when creating a text classification model using the Hugging Face deep training template.
  • You can also add custom configurations to MMClassification, MMDetection, and MMSegmentation deep training templates. You can customize their loss functions, backbones, necks, heads, and more.
bugFixed an issue that caused the model evaluation process to break when numerous concepts were used
  • Model evaluation now works as desired.
bugFixed an issue with the A21 Jurassic generative model that caused it to cache output prompts, resulting in repetitive responses upon subsequent usage
  • The A21 Jurassic model now generates new responses, providing different outputs each time the page is refreshed.
bugFixed an issue where models and workflows ignored new app and user IDs
  • Previously, any attempts to rename an app or a user ID, or to relocate the app to an organization (equivalent to altering the user ID), resulted in the models and workflows failing to recognize these updated values. We fixed the issue.
bugFixed an issue where it was not possible to update a model's visibility
  • Previously, if you edited a model's visibility and published the changes, trying to edit the model's visibility again could not work. We fixed the issue.
Developer Preview with Request-Only AccessAdded ability to import models from Hugging Face
  • You can now import models with permissive licenses from Hugging Face and use them on the Clarifai platform.
Developer Preview with Request-Only AccessAdded ability to fine-tune text-to-text models
  • Advanced model builders can now further customize the behavior and output of the text-to-text models for specific text generation tasks. They can train the models on specific datasets to adapt their behavior for particular tasks or domains.

Model Page Improvements

StatusChangeDetails
improvementReduced the width of the PAT ID fieldIf you click the Use Model button on a model's page, a small window will pop up. Next, if you select the Call by API tab, you'll be able to see the PAT key injected in your code samples. You can also click the Create a new token button to generate a new PAT.

  • We improved the layout of the PAT ID field and the Create a new token button to enable them to fit properly in the form.
improvementAdded app name to the model/workflow/modules tiles details
  • We have incorporated the app's name that corresponds to the displayed resource, offering improved clarity. Now, when you review the tile details on an individual page for a model, workflow, or module, you will notice the app's name specified in the following format: User ID / App ID.
improvementCreated optimized UX (User Experience) for the prompter models on the Model-Viewer
  • We refined the way users interact with and receive output from the prompter models, aiming to make the process more intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly.
bugFixed an issue where the model page for any detection model crashed when swapping between the Overview and Concepts tabs, then back again—but only if the predicted bounding boxes were rendered previously
  • Previously, if you navigated to any detection model's page, waited for the model to render bounding box predictions on the Overview tab (default), and then switched to the Concepts tab, switching back to the Overview tab generated an error. We fixed the issue.
bugFixed an issue where the Create new Model page displayed a series of broken thumbnails
  • The thumbnails on the page are now displayed properly.

Sorting

StatusChangeDetails
new-featureAdded ability to sort by stars and adjusted "created/updated" behaviorThis sorting change affects both individual and Community pages as well as all resources—apps, models, workflows, modules, and datasets.

  • In addition to sorting by Name and Last Updated, we added two more options: Star Count (default option, henceforth) and Date Created.
  • If a user selects Date Created, Last Updated, or Star Count, the sorting results will be displayed in Descending order (by default)—the newest, more popular items will appear first.
  • If a user selects Model Name, the sorting results will be displayed in Ascending order (by default)—items will be displayed alphabetically.

Apps

StatusChangeDetails
new-featureExposed apps as a new resource in the Community listing
  • Just like models and workflows, you can now share, sort, and search apps in the Community.

Input-Manager

StatusChangeDetails
new-featureIntroduced the Smart Image Search by Caption feature on the Input-Manager
  • You can rank, sort, and retrieve images based on a predicted match to a query caption text. You just need to provide a caption text that best describes the images you want to search for, and the most relevant matches associated with that query will be displayed.
new-featureFixed an issue that caused infinite polling for inputs after uploading has been completed
  • You can now upload inputs successfully without experiencing any issues.
new-featureAdded ability to view estimated search result counts on the Input-Manager
  • You can now view an estimated number of inputs associated with your search results.
bugFixed an issue where uploading a CSV file of text data into a newly created dataset did not work
  • You can now create a new dataset and upload CSV files with text data without encountering any issues.
bugFixed an issue that prevented the unification of Input-Manager and Input-Viewer stores
  • The Input-Manager and the Input-Viewer now have the same unified stores. They now display the same search results, and the list of inputs used in the inputs manager grid is the same as those used in the inputs gallery on the Input-Viewer page.

User Onboarding

StatusChangeDetails
bugPreviously, when you were using an org account, selecting “Explore on your own” on the onboarding modal created the default first app under your logged-in user's account, and not on your org user's account.
  • The onboarding modal now creates the default first app under the org user's account.
  • The user is also now able to see their full name displayed on the onboarding modal.
bugFixed an issue where a created PAT did not appear in the list of PATs
  • Previously, when you created a new PAT on the “Use in API” screen during the onboarding process, the PAT was not automatically populated and could not be used straight away, as compared to the standard "Use in API" flow on a model's page. We fixed the issue.

User Account Settings

StatusChangeDetails
new-featureAdded ability to make a user's profile public or private
  • You can now update the visibility of your user profile to either public or private.
  • You will not be able to keep any resources public if you set your user profile visibility to private.
improvementAdded new roles on the Job Role drop-down list
  • On the Account Settings page, you will find a form that enables you to update your contact information. We have made updates to the roles listed in the Job Role field within the form.
  • The new roles are also reflected in the sign-up form.

Organization Settings and Management

StatusChangeDetails
improvementAdded “AppAddCollaborators” featured flag for org admins and org members
  • Org admins and org members now have the “AppAddCollaborators” featured flag, which enables them to add collaborators to an app.
bugFixed an issue where an org contributor was not allowed to authorize or uninstall Installed Module Versions (IMV)
  • An org contributor role now has sufficient scopes to successfully authorize or uninstall IMVs.
bugFixed an issue where a team member was not allowed to view or use IMVs
  • A team contributor or member role now has sufficient scopes to successfully view or use IMVs.

Modules

StatusChangeDetails
improvementImproved the handling of GitHub repository URLs with trailing slashes
  • We enhanced the way we handle the importation of modules from Streamlit app repositories on GitHub with trailing slashes ("/") at the end of their URLs.
improvementImproved the design of the Install Module pop-up modalIf you click the Install Module button at the upper-right corner of an individual module page, a small modal will pop up.

  • We've improved the design of the modal to allow you to select a destination organization where you want to install the module. Previously, you could solely select a user.
improvementIncreased the deployment time for the module manager
  • Previously, when you created a new module, the deployment timed out after 5 minutes. If the module required a longer time to build, the module deployment failed after 5 minutes.
  • We increased the deployment time for the module manager from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
improvementUpdated the module manager to set secrets that modules can use
  • You can now set environment variables and secrets for module versions as you create them.
improvementAllowed anonymous usage of the LLM Battleground module
  • You can now anonymously use the module to compare the performance of large language models. You do not need to log in to the Clarifai platform before using it.
improvementAdded a warning to be displayed before deleting a module version
  • We added a warning informing a user that deleting a module version will uninstall each of its install instances.
bugAdded a directory to prevent modules from breaking libraries
  • Previously, we encountered a bug that was hindering modules from writing temporary files, leading to the disruption of certain Python packages during runtime. We fixed the issue.
bugFixed a bug that prevented getting commits from GitHub repository branches
  • We fixed a Module-Manager bug that caused errors when getting commits from GitHub repository branches.

Secure Data Hosting (SDH)

StatusChangeDetails
bugPreviously, when SDH was enabled on the Portal, cross-user app copying did not work
  • Previously, when SDH was active, duplicating an app you are added as a collaborator resulted in the destination app having broken inputs. On the other hand, duplicating your own apps worked just fine. We fixed the issue.

Labeler

StatusChangeDetails
bugFixed an issue that prevented annotations from being created while working on a task
  • You can now successfully add annotations when labeling tasks.

Workflows

StatusChangeDetails
bugFixed an issue where selecting concepts from the workflow visual graph builder resulted in an error
  • Previously, selecting concepts for a model node in the workflow visual graph builder resulted in an empty list. We fixed the issue.
