🌐 Overview

Over the last month, the team pushed a substantial testnet upgrade, on-boarded new Lilypad teammates, and planned the Lilypad incentivized testnet launch!

We are thrilled to announce the next phase in our testnet development, the Milky Way v3 testnet! The launch of v3 brings improved reliability and additional functionality to tune models like Stable Diffusion and Stable Diffusion Video. See Milky Way reference and examples for info on running a node or adding models to run on Lilypad.

The Lilypad team had a blast with the community at the Web3 Google Developer Day and ETH Global Sydney! Check out the Lilypad talks and demo from Google Developer Day.

⚒️ Lilypad v3 'Milky Way' Testnet

v3 brings the Lilypad Network a large step closer to the launch of our incentivized testnet! As the network processes larger workloads, v3 helps to optimize job processing and increase the scope of what can be done with a model on Lilypad. As the network grows, more functionality has been added to run on this added capacity.

Why is Lilypad v3 called the Milky Way? Just as the Milky Way, our home galaxy, stretches across the vast Australian night sky, Lilypad's latest version aims to expand the possibilities of decentralized computing. The Milky Way is a dazzling band of stars that shines brightest in the Australian night sky. v3 was built by our Aussie team, so Milky Way is a fitting name choice for our latest release.

Lilypad now supports a variety of samplers and options to enhance models like Stable Diffusion and Stable Diffusion Video! See Milky Way Reference and Examples in the docs to learn more about tuning model outputs, adding new models to run on Lilypad, and running a Lilypad node.

Contact us and sign up here to contribute GPU compute capacity to the Lilypad incentivized testnet. This phase will launch in mid May 2024. More info on testnet phases and rewards coming soon!

🌟 Lilypad "All the Things" Update

ETH Global Sydney

ETH Global Sydney was 🔥! Congratulations to the winners of the Lilypad hackathon bounties Learnr Idle Mining and Slick CI. If you missed the Lilypad presentations in Sydney, check out the recording on Youtube.

A huge thanks to ETH Global and the entire Sydney community for an awesome week! Our team was overwhelmed with excitement and feedback from the ecosystem.

Lilypad and Decentralized Science

A major focus for the Lilypad community includes providing compute resources for Desci and related fields to run open source models on open networks.

Listen to Stanley, Head of Research at Lilypad, as he joined the PoSciDonDAO to discuss how to build and innovate to solve hard problems like rare diseases with Desci and open infrastructure.

Stable Diffusion Video v1.0 & v1.1 now on Lilypad!

We are super stoked to announce the launch of text-to-video AI Inference on Lilypad with Stable Diffusion Video v1.0 and v1.1! Learn more about this Lilypad module on Github.

Run sdv and many other popular models on the Lilypad network with the Lilypad CLI.

✨ Lilypad Team

We have on-boarded more awesome engineers, researchers, and tech talent! Learn about the Lilypad team and advisors here.

🔮 What's Next?

We are full steam ahead towards the launch of the Lilypad incentivized testnet. The team continues to refine our plan and will communicate the testnet phases and an early Resource Provider program soon!
