🏅 HackFS Project Awards

The results are in, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the amazing projects submitted to the 🐟 Bacalhau / 🍃 Lilypad Tech track during HackFS! The creativity of the participants was truly outstanding, showcasing the immense potential of distributed computing in enhancing various use cases using Bacalhau and Lilypad Tech.

We proudly present the winners:

1. Team DefiKicks: Bacalhau plays a pivotal role in DefiKicks by executing off-chain jobs, such as the computation of inflationary rewards and tallying off-chain votes, ensuring a smooth and efficient voting and rewards process.

2. Team Daggle: Made Bacalhau easy to use by adding an awesome UX and Marketplace for finding Bacalhau jobs.

3. Team InferAI: Inspired by Hugging Face and Vercel, they created an AI UI that simplifies ML model deployment with Bacalhau.

4. Tentai: Created an easy SDK for AI Models running on decentralized computing and solving critical problems of decentralized AI (DAI)

5. DYield Data Collector: Created a decentralized yield data aggregator by using custom script on Bacalhau to compute the best yield data and find the best APY value of the reserve, then send it to the user with a push notification. 

6. Pensieve: Used Bacalhau for image processing, leveraging decentralized storage to save memory moments and create a History of Homo Sapiens Moments shared documentation.

Congratulations to all the winners! You are driving the future of distributed computing! 🎉🥳

📣 New in Bacalhau - Highlight

It's time to reset the clocks, ⏰, and let the happy times roll in.

We have just released v0.3.28 🎉. This month's release focuses on S3 bucket support as inputs and outputs for jobs, improvements to the Bacalhau command line flags, insulated jobs, and more.

⭐️ Star us on Github

Let’s take a look at the major highlights for this month:

• AWS S3 for data input and output: Bacalhau now supports using data in Amazon AWS S3 buckets as input and output for jobs. This means that all the data you store in S3 can now be accessed easily from Bacalhau, and results can be written back to S3 once your job is complete. Read the docs here.

• Amplify persistence and web UI: Amplify data is now persisted so that the current state of workflows survives restarts, making Amplify more able to handle interruptions. It also detects new image or video data and automatically rescales the media into various resolutions and formats – making it easier to work with that data next time. Watch the video here.

• Insulated Jobs for private data: With insulated jobs, private data owners moderate access to their data and only allow specific jobs to run against it.

• New Bacalhau command line flags: The following commands --inputs, --input-urls, -u and --input-volumes, -v has been replaced by a single --input, -i flag that accepts URIs and works for IPFS, URLs, S3, Git, and more inputs in the future.

• Use of bacalhau serve for private nodes:bacalhau serve default now spins a private node. To connect to the public network, you should now run bacalhau serve --peer env --private-internal-ipfs=false

• Log streaming: You can now stream logs from both Docker and WASM jobs whilst the job is still running – a great way to see how your long-running job is progressing.

We have a lot more exciting highlights coming up next month. You can get more details on what the team is working on in our project report

🌊 Waterlily Launch 🎉

We are excited to announce the launch of our ethical AI art generator, Waterlily.ai, which has recently garnered attention from Forbes and Silicon Age. Waterlily is committed to addressing the ethical implications of generative AI. Our platform provides a unique opportunity for artists to submit their artwork and be a part of the Waterlily program.

Artists can now upload a portfolio of their existing work, and Waterlily will automatically train an image generator model using their art. Once trained, the generator is accessible to all Waterlily users, and the artist can start making money from any images that their model produces! It’s a super simple system that is bringing some much-needed control back to the generative art space.

⭐️ Star us on Github

Bacalhau aims to improve how people interact with large amounts of data by providing distributed, content-addressed compute capabilities for everyone.

This project has been adopted by lots of researchers and entrepreneurs for a variety of purposes, including processing real-time CCTV data, accelerating scientific progress, and much more.

Based on our user feedback, we are introducing a breadth of new features to help people adopt compute over data. The project's roadmap includes the release of:

• Python SDK and SDKs for our API in some other languages too

• FIL+ Dashboard

• Initial simulator framework

• Improved examples

• A draft invocation spec in collaboration with the CoD ecosystem

• Networking design

• Trusted Execution Environment design

• An initial game theoretic analysis of the Bacalhau protocol.

More information on the beta v1 release is on the IPFS blog.
