Hey HN, founder of dstack here. We've been working on this over three months and pretty excited about this release. Basically, the main point is that dstack is an open-source AI-native alternative to Kubernetes, designed to be more lightweight, and focusing just on AI workloads on both cloud and data-centers. With this release we are adding the critical feature that allows to run containers concurrently on same host slicing its resources incl. GPU for a more cost-efficient utilization. Another new thing is the simplified way to run things on private clouds where clusters are often behind a login node. There are many more cool things on our roadmap to ensure dstack is a streamlined alternative to both K8S and Slurm. Our roadmap can be found in [1] Super excited to hear any feedback.

In Orchestrating GPUs in data centers and private clouds
Hey everyone, I'm happy to release dstack Hub, an open-source tool that helps teams manage their ML workflows more effectively without vendor lock-in. dstack Hub extend dstack [1] with workflow scheduling capabilities and user management. Here's how it works: run dstack Hub via Docker, use its UI to configure projects and cloud credentials, then pass the URL and personal token to the dstack CLI. Now, you can run workflows through the CLI and Hub will orchestrate them in the cloud on your behalf. This is a beta release and we plan to continuously improve it. We'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions! [1] https://github.com/dstackai/dstack

Show HN: Dstack – a command-line utility to provision infra for ML workflows

Hi. :) I’m Andrey, the creator of dstack. I started this project while I was working at JetBrains where I helped the PyCharm team to improve support for Jupyter notebooks. As I was in close contact with many ML devs (who used PyCharm) I was able to see their struggle with running ML workflows. Unlike traditional dev workflows, ML workflows are difficult to run on a local machine (due to the lack of memory, more CPUs/GPUs, etc). This is why people often have to use remote machines (e.g. via SSH), or adopt one of the end-to-end MLOps platforms. Using remote machines is not difficult but it is tedious and requires a lot of manual actions. Using MLOps platforms on the other hand automates the manual work but requires the use of an opinionated interface, which often kills developer productivity. Imagine, if you could run your ML workflows the

very same way as you do it locally, but they would actually run in the cloud. And you wouldn’t need to worry about provisioning infrastructure, setting up the environment, etc. I’m excited to show you dstack, an open-source tool that does exactly that. It’s a command-line utility that allows you to run any workflows while it provisions infrastructure, setup the environment, and copies code/data for you. No need to install or configure anything in your environment or cloud. Simply install the CLI and run it. The launch blog post: https://mlopsfluff.dstack.ai/p/simplifying-the-mlops-stack We’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas. I’ll be here to answer any questions you might have.

Show HN: Run AI apps and dev environments with dstack

Hi everyone, I'm the creator of dstack, a tool that makes it easier to train models in the cloud. Our tool allows extending it with custom providers to support different languages, frameworks, etc. All the built-in providers are also open-source: https://github.com/dstackai/dstack Today, we've released a new update that extends the capabilities of dstack beyond training models, and now also allows users to quickly build and share apps with Streamlit, Gradio, and FastAPI in the cloud – in just a few clicks. Also, similar to apps, it's possible to run dev environments with the required hardware and data access also in one command from the Terminal. All you have to do is to link your own AWS account to run commands. Currently, we support VS Code, and JupyterLab but plan to support more. Invite everyone to give it a try and share their though

ts. Happy to discuss the approach and what would be great to have in terms of other features! Blog post: https://blog.dstack.ai/introducing-apps-and-dev-environments P.S.: Currently, it's possible to run models and apps only in the configured cloud. If you'd like the tool to also allow you to run it locally, and if you would like this part to be open-source too, please leave comments!
