šļø Weekly Recap ā Load Restart, Model Expansion, Dashboard Polish & Phase #1 Snapshot
This week closed out Testnet Phase #1 with load testing back at scale, major model expansion completed, and final polish ahead of snapshot and Hackathon close.
š¹ Incentivized Testing & Manual Regression
- Incentivized testing and manual regression continued with node ops and community testers.
- Ongoing follow-ups on abnormal node states helped keep network behavior stable.
š¹ Automated Load Testing (Restarted)
- Automated load testing successfully restarted on the new Router endpoint.
- Total execution now at ~130k tasks, giving strong coverage going into the Phase #1 snapshot.
š¹ New Inference & Embedding Models Online
- Inference models 47ā55 are now live.
- Embedding stack 56ā64 deployed to support Validator v2/v3 and upcoming evaluation paths.
- Model coverage expanded to 64 total, including additional embedding models.
š¹ /validate & /delegate Iterations (Light This Week)
- Some progress continued, but iteration depth was lighter than planned this cycle.
š¹ Dashboard UI Refinements
- Additional polish shipped across the dashboard.
- The Node Reward / Performance page now better reflects incentives, performance metrics, and monitoring signals for node operators.
š¹ Hackathon #3 ā Final Window
- Hackathon #3 wraps in the next 24 hours, with final support and reviews in progress.
š¹ Testnet Phase #1 ā Snapshot
- Phase #1 snapshot scheduled within 24 hours, locking state for rewards, rankings, and next-phase planning.
A strong close to Phase #1 - higher sustained load, expanded model coverage, improved operator UX, and clean state heading into the next Testnet phase.
