DeepInfra raises $107M Series B to scale the inference cloud — read the announcement

The text generation inference open source project by huggingface looked like a promising framework for serving large language models (LLM). However, huggingface announced that they will change the license of code with version v1.0.0. While the previous license Apache 2.0 was permissive, the new one is restrictive for our use cases.
We decided to fork the project and continue to maintain it under the Apache 2.0 license. We will continue to contribute to the project and keep it up to date. We will accept pull requests from the community, and we will keep the project truly open source and free to use.
Here is a link to the code: https://github.com/deepinfra/text-generation-inference
We hope that in time a community of other developers and organizations that want to keep this project truly open source will form around it.
Sadly it is becoming more and more common for popular open source projects to change their license after they gain some traction. This happened with MongoDB, Grafana, ElasticSearch, and many others. As a developer, when you decide to adopt a particular open source project, you start investing time and effort into using it. You build your application around it, and you start depending on it. Then, suddenly, the license changes, and you might be forced to find an alternative.
Imagine if meta changes the license of pytorch. Or if tomorrow huggingface decides to change the license of transformers in a similar way to prohibit commercial use.
We believe that the changing of the license of open source projects mid-flight is a unfriendly move towards the community.

NVIDIA Nemotron API Pricing Guide 2026<p>While everyone knows Llama 3 and Qwen, a quieter revolution has been happening in NVIDIA’s labs. They have been taking standard Llama models and “supercharging” them using advanced alignment techniques and pruning methods. The result is Nemotron—a family of models that frequently tops the “Helpfulness” leaderboards (like Arena Hard), often beating GPT-4o while being significantly […]</p>

OpenClaw Use Cases That Deliver Real ROI<p>An OpenClaw agent that reads your email, opens pull requests, and watches a server is only useful if running it doesn’t feel like leaving the meter running. That’s the quiet constraint behind every OpenClaw use cases discussion. Most of the workflows people show off (morning briefings, multi-agent research, ambient monitoring) only make sense if each […]</p>
