Nosana Community Call — May Edition

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:01:02]Bam.

[00:01:06]All right, I see uh about what 15 people so far. So, I'm going to wait a few more minutes. Um, so everyone shows up to the show to the community call. Let me see if we are live on X because I think that's where most of our viewers come from. See, seems to me that we are. Just need to check.

[00:01:31]>> Yep.

[00:01:33]>> Yep. in real life.

[00:01:35]Good.

[00:01:39]Hope everyone's having a good day um and a good month as well because we are having a pretty exciting month. Uh those of you who have been active on Discord or just have been following our ex or being around uh might have seen a surge in jobs where like swarmed It's very busy. It's a very busy month.

[00:02:05]We're very excited. I got a lot of cool stuff to share with you. So, with no further ado, it's time to do the introduction. There's a recording at the end which I'm going to post on our Discord. Uh, so you can always go back and review it if you and it's going to be live on YouTube as well. So, you can always go back to YouTube and look at it later. But now, let's do the intro.

[00:02:27]How's everyone doing? Uh, welcome back to our monthly community call. My name is Dennis. I'll be your host today. As you can see, no uh no one else is joining me today unfortunately. Uh I am by my lonesome. So I hope you can bear with me and stay with me through this call. Um I did some changes to the format as you might have noticed. Um I tried to keep it more modern. I try to keep it more exciting. Drop the Discord link please. Hold on one sec. Let me grab the Discord. It's somewhere on our website.

[00:03:04]this point.

[00:03:07]There you go. Uh, so it's Oh, I actually can't leave it.

[00:03:12]Put it posted on the uh X. So, you go um So, you go Let's see. Nosana.

[00:03:22]Yeah. So, you go uh nana.comisord.

[00:03:26]So, let me show you. Let me let me put a banner. So it's better discord like this.

[00:03:39]All right.

[00:03:40]Just in case anyone wants to join the discord and join some of the cool discussions.

[00:03:46]Discord that's the discord. That's where all the all the interesting talk is happening. Basically that's for all those interested who want to see what's happening internally. but also um I think this is a good place as any for all those who are interested. Uh so let me get back into it. Um today's call is going to be very simple. We're going to basically be doing everything we did before with a little bit more insight uh maybe into product a little bit and into some of the stuff we're doing. And we're going to have a call to action. Um, and you'll see why because when I go down through the community call a little bit more and tell you all the updates that are happening this month and some of the stuff we're planning, you'll see why the call to action is necessary. Um, so uh like previously mentioned um I'm your host. I'm the head of community and ecosystem. Those who are around the social medias of Nosana might have even met me uh in person at some of the events including Breakpoint where I was back in December. Uh and I'll be very happy to host this uh community call that holds everything of the month of May. So let's go into the first part of the four is what shipped. We're going to talk about a little bit of the product.

[00:04:58]I know this is not interesting to some of you but bear with me. This is a very exciting uh month for product updates because it gives insights into some stuff we couldn't do before and it opens doors to some very interesting possibilities in the future if um potentially our clients or someone else requires it. Now you're going to see why and I'm pretty excited to showcase about something about this. Um to put it plain and simple, the most notable things this month are the host manager and the dashboard updates. Host manager being definitely the more bullish one and I'll explain you why. Um me and Shard last month we talked about how we improved the metrics collection. Uh so I'm bringing it back and mentioning how we collected it even more because it ties into the new threshold system and I'm going to explain very briefly what it does and it's this is much more interesting for hosts than it is for anyone else. But for host, this gives better insight into their metrics and they can actually compare themselves to the market average in real time, which in turn basically tells them, "Hey guys, something's wrong here. For example, your internet speed isn't up to the average or something else is happening or something is something you're doing is better than average, so keep it up."

[00:06:15]This way, hosts will know exactly what's going wrong. And this will decrease their chances of being demoted off premium markets. And I think this is going to be a very good quality of life change for the hosts.

[00:06:27]But in my opinion, the most bullish update, and this is something you're definitely going to want to remember, is that we uh with the new uh host manager updates, we are basically allowing more fine grain markets. And uh this might not sound super interesting, but trust me when I say this actually opens the doors to so much more variety when it comes to hosts. For example, Nosana currently doesn't really support multiple GPU markets. So it's one host per GPU or one GPU per host. Um soon this might not be staying like it. So this opens the possibilities of having multiple GPUs markets, uh TE markets, sock markets and more. Uh this is very important because we've been to some places, we've been to conferences, we've been in uh web two conferences including Berlin back in uh we are developers Berlin back in I think it was July last year where we spoke to developers and builders and a lot of these potential clients that were worried about data privacy. So having access to more fine grain markets will basically allow us down the line to perhaps um fetch those clients who were impossible to get before. So this is a super big update for us and I think it's not going to show itself like tomorrow but over time I think it's going to be a definitely a big improvement. Uh something else that's happening that's visible basically is we had a surge of uh job deployments this month and that allowed us to collect a lot of good feedback from the uh community uh which made us improve the dashboard a lot. Uh we did some quality of life changes on the dashboard including um collecting some information about certain things that weren't working. Um and basically allowed us to edge edge test um certain cases. edge case scenarios sorry allows us to test these scenarios which weren't possible before because the markets are now very demanding and uh it allows us to put some implementations in place and it allows some for some future fixes which will generally improve improve the quality of life for anyone who's deploying jobs whether it is the builders whether it is uh just data scientists anyone I think this is going to be a good quality of life um improvement so the next thing that I'm going to focus on is what's coming next.

[00:08:51]So, this that I just talked about, these were the changes that were basically done in uh the month of May. But there are some very exciting things and I know me and Stuart, if you were here for the last community call, we talked about something that was very exciting, but it's still not ready. But we were like, we're this close. I kind of give you an ETA, but hopefully by the next community call, I'm going to be saying this is what we did in June and sharing you some of these updates. There's four major things. So, I would say it's a lot. Um, I would say it's a lot. And there there's no ETA on the when these are going to be happening. So, there's no cue. So, it's not one, two, three, four, like we're going to do one, then two, then three, then four. It's all in there. So, let me tell you a little bit about that. First of all, the most important I think everyone's going to agree is that we're going to finally implement topping up credits with fiat.

[00:09:47]This was a long time coming. Everyone's asking for it. Uh it's been a big problem because it basically kills the pipeline and helps uh and it doesn't help with onboarding because people usually have to go to Discord or there has to be some other methods where people communicate about the credits and it just makes thing things overall very slow and sluggish. Finally, implementing the fiat payments is going to allow people to just top up without having to talk to anyone, without having the need to communicate anything. You just go to the dashboard, top up, top up some credits, good to go. Simple as that.

[00:10:21]Nothing super, it's not a groundbreaking thing. It's, I would say, more of a basic thing, but we're finally working to getting it done, which is going to improve the user experience quite a lot. Next one is going to be a little bit of an alpha league from my side. I don't even know if I'm supposed to talk about it, but it's the onboarding and support improvements. Um the the subtext that says built on Asana ran on Asana is going to be a very good teaser into what kind of support and onboarding improvements is going to be. Um I cannot tell you anything else right now but uh imagine uh imagine these improvements as basically knowing someone from the inside having an inside connection to the team and you can potentially ask this person anything and you will get a real-time response with up-to-date data on the sana. So whether you are a future client for example, you you just went to the website for example and well you don't really have discord but you really want to learn more about nana and you want to see how you can do this. Usually you would be you would have a hard time talking to the team. Um, now this is fixed with this companion sort of which I can't talk about just yet where you can communicate directly on the website and get some good insights and even book a call with the team which might makes things a little bit more smoother and much more improved in the general sense of things because it offloads some of the work from our backs and and allows us to actually help a lot more users this way. Um, maybe I'll tell a bit more about this next month. I can't tell you anything else. I already talked too much. Those who listen probably have an idea of already what we're working on, but uh, it'll stay like this for now.

[00:12:13]Uh, for hosts, we're returning the performance metric cards. They're going to be returning to the host UI. So, those of you who know about what this is, this is going to help you uh, figuring some of the metrics basically what that I talked about in the last slide. This is going to provide a quality of life update for you guys and I think you're going to be happy with it. And finally, uh number four is going to be the improved wallet flow for deploy UI. So those of you who have been deploying jobs in the last couple of weeks basically ever know that there is a little bit of a it's not the easiest of things to use um the deployment page.

[00:12:51]Some of you get confused, some of you do it no problem. But we did have to explain to some people uh how the waults work and why you have to top up this and that. Now we're going to for example uh you are going to now have an option to use a shared vault instead of creating one for everything. And this shared vault can basically be one place where you put your NOS and your uh soul. And from there you can just deploy various types of jobs and it's just going to drain fronts from this one uh vault which is going to make for a little bit of a quality improvement. just makes things easier for you. This is just one of the things. There's a couple more things in the background and hopefully I'm going to talk more about it next month. So, we'll see about that. Um, what's next? So, we got a few more things to talk about. Events. There's been two major events that happened in the month of May for us. I was luckily involved in both of them.

[00:13:44]Um I decided to take a little trip from Croatia down to Serbia to the Salana startup Belgrade that was happening from um actually it was happening from April 29 up to May 12th but I was just there for the final two days to see what the Balcon community is building and what kind of demos they are shipping. They basically this was uh s this was sort of like a super team assistance for those who are submitting for the coliseum hackathon. So, it was very nice to meet a lot of builders, not just from the Balcons, but I met people from the US. I met people from all over the world basically. So, that was very interesting to see and was very nice. Uh, we talked to a lot of people there. A lot of people from the Balcon seem to know Nana, which makes us super happy and we want to uh make our presence even more known there because there's definitely some places in the Balcons we're going to be going to in the next few months and I'm going to be telling you more about it very soon. Um, what else? Well, that's it for now in terms of where we were, but I think the more exciting things is we had another offsite just just last week. Basically, we were in Amsterdam finally going to the hometown of Nosana uh grouping as a team and we had a couple of different we had a different approach to this offsite. It was a lot of building. It was our hours and hours and hours of planning things ahead. um seeing various ways we can basically work and improve things that we currently have. This aligns a lot with what I told you earlier about the onboarding and support improvements. So something that we were building and working on here is directly tied to what I was talking about and hopefully I can tell you more about it on the next call.

[00:15:25]Maybe I can even tease it a little bit more in the comments uh on Discord if if you ask nicely, but we'll see. So the offsite was a very pleasant experience.

[00:15:35]It's always good to meet the team. We were there in person obviously and uh it was just very exciting.

[00:15:41]So that's it for that. Let's go back to where are we going next. So this is uh this is the three events I can talk about in the near future. Um so there's we're going to be sponsoring an event in Singapore in the school in the SMU school of u economics. is going to be an agent forge AI hackathon uh with super AI. So we're going to be providing people with GPU compute there, you know, to uh basically make sure that their deployments go through and we're going to be helping helping them along the way and we're pretty excited about that.

[00:16:14]Those who are following us know that we have a person in Singapore who does a lot of these events. So we were all across uh the APAC area and we are excited to keep going there. Those who are uh from the Netherlands, you know about Dutch blockchain week and you know how much it means to us. We're going to be attending this year as well. It's going to be on the June 24th and 25th.

[00:16:39]Um right now I can't tell you exactly what's going to be happening. We're going to be involved a little bit there, but I still cannot say exactly what we're going to be doing. I can definitely promise you we're going to be attending, but um I still cannot say how big our impact on the event itself is.

[00:16:55]We're going to know more when we come closer to that in a couple of weeks. So, those of you who are uh in the Netherlands, stay tuned. We're going to be telling you more about it in the next couple of weeks. And uh let's stay in touch in Discord just in case. I'm not promising anything. Just in case, we have a couple of extra tickets that sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't.

[00:17:17]So, just keep an eye out, stay active in Discord, and you might land yourself a ticket to the block Dutch blockchain week if you're nearby. So, just a little teaser, no promises. Uh, yeah. So, the next one, uh, going back to what I said about the Balkcons, um, I will personally definitely will be attending the Solana Summit in Serbia, which is going to be happening from, uh, actually, I don't think it's 24 to 26th of August. I just think it's 26th of August. I have to confirm, though. Um I believe it's just the 26th of August. Uh it's going to be a very exciting event where they're they're expecting more than 700 people. Uh it's actually going to be a Solana and an ECC event. So uh very interesting to see how the Solana and the Ethereum communities clash together because it's going to be in the same venue. So it's definitely going to be an interesting thing. Um definitely a lot of builders, definitely a lot of clients, potentially startups. So, we're gonna be there. Put put feet on the ground. So, if you're from the region and you want to meet the team or probably just me.

[00:18:21]U be sure to leave us a message on the Discord and somewhere else and we will hook up a at least get a drink if anything. So, that that's the easiest thing we can do.

[00:18:31]And then going to the ecosystem, which kind of wraps things up. I don't remember what number four was if I'm being honest. Um, so a couple of things to say about the ecosystem. We're looking for more hosts and this is a call to action. That's right. We have a big call to action. We're looking for a lot of new hosts because the supply has rapidly the supply has rapidly changed uh over the last month. Uh, and everyone seems to be in massive demand for GPUs. Um, I think we know the reason for this, but we're going to skip saying that for now.

[00:19:09]We'll see how things develop. Basically, if you go to deploy.mmosana.com and try to make a deployment, you'll see that a lot of these GPUs are basically taken. So, we are looking for even more hosts and uh the reason to incentivize people who are potentially looking to on board onto Nosan or maybe weren't uh in the premium markets but want to try again. We're definitely um gonna be faster in promoting those the premium markets and we have increased the rewards because the demand is so high that people are just going to keep keep renting these GPUs regardless of the cost. So you're going to be getting I think 20 to 30% more than you would usually be getting off the market rates.

[00:19:50]So So if 30% bonus doesn't sound like a good deal, I don't know what to tell you. But um that's right. So, we're looking all across basically all across Nosana 30s, 40, 50 series, even A6000 pros, everything that you have should be on the network right now because you're expected to have maximum earnings.

[00:20:10]Everything's booked. Uh, so if you want to get started with hosting or becoming a host or you have someone potentially a friend or someone who might be interested into this, you can go to host.nosana.com nosana.com and from there you can just there's a little login and under the login there's a button you can click that says I'm not a host yet and that will take you to the documentation page where we're going to guide you on how to actually get this done um in terms of how technical you need to be to become a host I would say not that much not that much uh because there's a wonderful community down in Discord which is going to be helping you all all the necessities of getting um from zero up to your deployment and then monitoring your deployment, make making sure that u the the host you are is effective and efficient basically. So we're going to be helping you every step of the way in case you're not there yet technically. We'll try to assist as much as we can. What else happened for the ecosystem? Well, basically we're going to have one of the most interesting panels of all time. Uh, I'm kidding, but only a little bit because we're grouping together Mosana, Ionet, Akash, and Aier.

[00:21:25]We're putting them in one room, very, very similar room to this one, basically where I am right now. Um, where I am right now. So, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be an interesting discussion. We're going to be talking about centralized versus a centralized compute. And that's going to be very very interesting for all those who are wondering why would people uh consider any of these four instead of just using regular centralized services like maybe GCP or AWS or something else.

[00:21:56]It's going to be a very nice paid uh happening June 2nd 5:00 pm Central Eastern time. Uh there's definitely going to be reminders all over the place. So do follow us on X and you'll be sure to be reminded when that's happening. And last but not least, my favorite part of the month, which I'm hoping to do every single month moving forward, is the community shoutouts. Uh we got two two this month, but um I'm hoping to have even more next month. So um I'm going to be making a couple of announcements in the meantime, every maybe once a week, asking community members to share what they've been building, especially if it involves Noana in some way. Or you don't even have to share what you're building in terms of product. You can even tell us what you're doing. Maybe when if you want to share a picture of your dog, maybe that's maybe that's enough.

[00:22:43]Depending on how the month is busy, we'll determine that. Uh two people I want to consider because both of these people are the NASA Nasana Build a Challenge participants. Uh Nabi has or Nabenji, I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong, has built a Nosana skill marketplace, and it's a work in progress still. we're helping him um we're giving him some credits to get things rolling off the ground, but it's an interesting interesting concept that I saw a few more people try and we're very curious to see where this will go because it allows you to deploy, optimize, and orchestrate AR workloads in a different way. It makes things easier basically technically allowing you to purchase or download skills. Um I'm still curious where this is going to go. So definitely a shout out to Nenji and I want to see more of that. The second the second one is C infinity. Our friend from Spain who won uh who won two yeah not one but two super team earned tracks. So big congratulations with his project uh Void XY Z. I see I see you in the comments hiding along there in the in the YouTube. So it's a pleasure to announce what you're working on and I can definitely see the the potential it has it has with Nosana. So, I'm going to tell you a little bit more about what he's building, which is basically an observatility observability layer, which allows you to actually have insights into what your agents are doing. Uh, this simplifies things a lot for people who don't really understand where the agents are going, what the agents are doing. When things go wrong, there's really not much you can see. This sort of helps the problem and it has a good Nosana edge which we're very happy to see being explored in the near future which would in allow basically deploying agents from any framework on the sun. So this is something very exciting we want to see more and obviously a shout out because he's been very active across the discord in the last couple of months ever since he was participating in the builder challenges. So keep it up. Uh we have eyes we see you. So thank you for all the effort you've been doing so far and I hope we see more of it. Like previously mentioned, if you want to see yourself be shout shouted out at the end of the community calls and maybe even more often, be sure to tell me either in link raids or another um discord channel what you're working on and I'll definitely consider putting it here because we'd love to see what the community is doing.

[00:25:08]And uh basically I think uh that's a wrap. Um it's a very short very sweet community call just under 25 minutes I think. uh a a very bullish month. GP might not be seen from outside perspective, but for us the all the GPU markets being filled. Uh everyone building so much more than before makes us very excited because we're very excited to see where this will go and how this will continue because we're going to be more places trying to meet more people and we're very curious to see where this is going to lead. I want to thank you all once again for joining the community call. I hope I wasn't a a bore being myself on my lonesome. Next week, actually, next next month, I'm going to drag someone from the team here, whether they like it or not. Um, thank you for joining and I hope to see you um next month, which is hopefully going to be June 26 around 4:00 p.m.

[00:26:08]Central Eastern time, same as this.

[00:26:10]That's usually the last Thursday of the month, but as things come and go, this might be prone to change and postpone until the week after, but we'll be letting, you know, for sure. So, keep an eye out on Discord, on Telegram, or on Twitter, wherever you are, you're going to figure it out. Um, thank you everyone for joining, and um, I hope you have a pleasant morning, day, evening, and um, I'll catch you later next time.
