You can create instances based on Elastic Container Instances and cloud disks in DSW. The instances provide free storage and supports accelerated startups.
Target customers: all developers
Features released:
New types of pay-as-you-go DSW instances
You can start and stop instances at any time based on your business requirements. This allows you to use resources in a flexible and efficient manner.
EAS supports push-button deployment of the Tongyi Qianwen model
Target customers: customers of model service and AI inference
Features released:
You can use PAI-EAS to deploy web UI applications that are based on the open source Tongyi Qianwen model, and use the web UI and API operations to perform model inference.
Qwen-7B is a 7 billion-parameter model of the Tongyi Qianwen series developed by Alibaba Cloud. Qwen-7B is a large language model based on Transformer, and is trained on ultra-large-scale pre-trained data. The pre-trained data covers a wide range of data types, including a large number of texts, professional books, and code. In addition, Qwen-7B-Chat, an LLM AI assistant is developed based on Qwen-7B.
You can deploy ChatGLM applications and use LangChain in EAS.
Target customers: customers of model service and AI inference.
Features released:
Deploy the ChatGLM application and use Langchain to integrate business data in EAS.
ChatGLM is an open source dialogue language model developed based on the General Language Model (GLM) architecture and supports dialogues in both Chinese and English. ChatGLM-6B is optimized for dialogues in Chinese by using a technology similar to ChatGPT. ChatGLM-6B is trained on 1 trillion tokens, and uses optimization technologies such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT), self-feedback system, and human feedback reinforcement learning (RLHF) to better align with human preferences.
LangChain is an open source framework that allows AI developers to integrate large language models (LLM) and data from other sources. This way, you can use LLM with as little computing resources as possible.
The system automatically scales resources for the asynchronous inference service based on the queue length.
Target customers: customers of the model service and AI inference.
Features released: The EAS asynchronous inference service can automatically scale resources by monitoring the amount of data in the queue. This can help you manage the number of service instances in an effective manner, increase resource utilization, and achieve cost-effectiveness.
Internet access through private NAT gateway is supported for DSW instances
Target customers:
Features released: Internet access through private NAT gateway is supported for DSW instances.
Data Science Workshop (DSW) and Deep Learning Containers (DLC) allow you to mount a NAS file system as an instance or a shared dataset.
Target customers: enterprise customers that have high requirements on data security.
Features released: DSW and DLC allow you to mount a NAS file system as an instance or a shared dataset.
Data can be delivered to the China (Shanghai) or Singapore region based on compliance requirements.
Target customers: multinational enterprises or large corporations that want to use the threat analysis feature to switch between regions in the Security Center console. The log data of cloud services in the relevant regions can be delivered to the China (Shanghai) or Singapore region based on data compliance requirements.
Features released: The Singapore region is supported. Users can select the China or Outside China data management center to deliver log data. If China is selected, data is delivered to the China (Shanghai) region. If Outside China is selected, data is delivered to the Singapore region. Data that is generated by the threat analysis feature is also stored in the selected region.
You can cancel the installation of plug-ins during cluster changes in later versions such as V7.16, V8.5, and V8.9.
As for original control capabilities, you cannot perform operations during a cluster change. As for the current control capabilities, you can cancel the installation of a plug-in during a cluster change. This enables more flexible and convenient user experience and reduces O&M costs.
Image Moderation 2.0 supports multi-language moderation of text in images, which can better meet the moderation requirements of customers outside the Chinese mainland.
