First off, we’ve added Bitcoin Cash deposits to our service.
Does this mean we’re cloning our website into a BCH version? No, Nano is our true love. That said, we want to broaden access to our service as much as possible and we try not to be tribal. Bitcoin Cash has a community that focuses on spending and truly using crypto, we try to support using as many different crypto as possible through swaps, and BCH made the most sense to offer easier access through.
How this works is that users can pay in using BCH, with a minimum of $0.10. When they deposit, we instantly credit their account with Nano, equivalent in USD value to the BCH deposited minus a 1% spread/fee. When we have a high enough BCH balance we swap the BCH to Nano (through Nanswap) so we have more Nano to again send out.
This broadens access to our service, means more people have Nano (it’s instantly withdrawable), and adds a constant buying pressure on Nano from our side. We’d love to offer these better/lower minimum deposits for more crypto, but it’s quite an effort to integrate so let’s see how this first one goes. If you have any friends that use BCH but aren’t into Nano yet, shoot them an invite!
Second, we’ve added API keys
We had quite some requests for API access, for both images and text. It’s now possible, in Settings, to generate an API key. This API key can then be used to access our service programmatically.
We haven’t yet gotten around to writing up good documentation for it so it takes a bit of technical smarts to use it, but some seem to already be getting good use out of it. If anyone that is using it feels like writing up documentation we’d be very happy, we can’t yet really find the time to do so.
Third, we’ve updated our model options
Llama-3 70b, GPT 3.5 Turbo and Sonar Online 32k have been removed.
Llama-3.1 70b, GPT-4o-mini and Sonar Online 128k have been added.
The Llama update is so that users have access to the newest version of this model (at the same cost), which offers better performance on every aspect.
The update from GPT 3.5 Turbo to GPT-4o-mini means a cheaper and better performing model.
The Sonar Online 32k to 128k means there is a bigger context window (possible to enter more input) and the new model uses Llama-3.1, rather than Llama-3 meaning the performance is better with unchanged cost.
That’s all folks. We keep working on adding more and improving our existing offerings, with accounts currently being worked on along with more advanced image generation. That said, we keep saying we’re working on X and then later decide Y takes priority, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Slightly off-topic, but we’re also very excited about the v27 improvements. Nano is already fantastic, and as a service building on Nano it’s great to see it improving more and more. Also once again a big thank you to the community. Every time we see someone commenting something about NanoGPT on Twitter or Reddit, or when someone tells us they invited a friend it makes us happy.
