Credit and payment method improvements

​
Safer workspace creation when credits run out

We’ve tightened how workspace creation behaves when you have no credits, so you don’t end up with workspaces that start and immediately terminate.
Payment method registration banner and credit warning on workspace page

​
Key updates

  • Credit validation for workspace creation: Previously, workspaces could start and then immediately terminate when you had no credits. Now, if you have no credits, workspace creation is blocked and a toast notification prompts you to purchase or add credits before starting.
  • Payment method registration banner: Previously, there was no clear signal when you didn’t have a registered payment method. Now, if you have no payment method and no credits, a banner appears prompting you to register a payment method. Admins can register a payment method directly from the banner.

Workspace history improvements

​
Better workspace history

These updates were previously listed in Coming Soon and are now available, along with a storage mount path update.
Use the demo below to see how to open Event history in the workspace details page and review the event timeline.
Also use the demo below to see how to review terminated workspaces with View Terminated and delete them manually when you’re ready.

​
Key updates

  • Event feed:
    • Event history: View a complete timeline of workspace events directly on the Details page. Track key lifecycle events and states, including Running, image pulling, and termination reasons such as Out of Memory Killed (OOMKilled), credit exhaustion, or temporary storage exceeded.
    • Terminated workspace view: Terminated workspaces are no longer auto-deleted after 24 hours. Use the View Terminated toggle to access their history and delete them manually when ready.
  • Workspace volume mount path: Workspace volume mount path is fixed to /root ($HOME) and cannot be changed.

User-managed volumes, workspace visibility & simplified resource selection

​
Enhanced control, visibility, and simplicity

We’ve empowered users with direct volume management, deeper workspace insights, and a simplified resource selection flow.

​
Key updates

  • User-managed volumes: You can now create and manage shared volumes directly.
    • No admin quota needed: Create volumes instantly without waiting for admin allocation.
    • Team sharing: Share volumes across your team effortlessly.
  • Storage pricing update:
    • Pay-as-you-go: Workspace volumes are billed based on usage ($0.0070/hr per 50GB).
    • No quota limits: Pre-allocated quotas for shared volumes have been removed.
  • Workspace visibility:
    • Detailed status: Workspace states are now clearly defined—Queued, Initializing, Running, Paused, Failed, and Terminated. “Queued” shows Waiting for GPU, and “Initializing” shows Downloading Images.
  • Simplified resource selection:
    • Cluster selector removed: No need to select a cluster first. Browse all available resource specs across clusters in a single view.
    • Unified resource view: See every GPU and CPU option you have access to, regardless of cluster.

Workspace Creation Revamp & New Features

​
A new way to create workspaces

We’ve completely redesigned the workspace creation experience to be more intuitive and powerful. The new flow guides you through essential steps while offering deeper customization options for advanced needs.
Take a quick tour of the new workspace creation flow with the demo below.

​
Key updates

  • Streamlined creation flow: The process is now split into three clear steps:
    • Step 1 (Select resource): Choose your hardware specifications.
    • Step 2 (Deployment settings): Configure image, SSH keys, ports, and volumes.
    • Step 3 (Review): Review your settings and estimated cost before deploying.
  • SSH key generation: You can now generate SSH keys directly within the workspace creation page and save them locally. Manage your keys anytime in Settings > SSH Keys.
  • Custom port opening: Open specific custom ports during creation to perfectly replicate your local environment. Verify connection details in the Detail > Connect page.
