May 2026 monthly summary for Affine Foundation (Affine). The month delivered a substantial upgrade cycle across scheduling, routing, and reliability, driving improved throughput, predictability, and business value for model inference workloads. Key features delivered: - Targon integration and routing overhaul: introduced a multi-provider routing framework with GPU-accelerated inference, provider/router architecture, health-aware routing, and enhanced deployer logging; added CLI tools and environment gating to enable controlled rollouts. - Slots system improvements: inference_health-based slot adjustments, increased defaults (DEFAULT 25, MIN 20), improved error sampling, and champion threshold tuning to stabilize workload distribution. - NAVWORLD tuning: accelerated NAVWORLD workload and increased timeout to 1800s to support longer-running tasks with improved reliability. - af get-rank enhancements: added live current-window averages and boosted header (⚡) to highlight scheduling-accelerated miners; surfaced TERMINATED status for clearer operator decisions. - Reliability and performance enhancements: stopped retrying failed tasks (max_retries 1), introduced per-env evaluate concurrency caps, added per-host dispatch budgets, and deployed streaming dispatch to improve throughput and fairness of task execution. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed NameError in fetch_task state handling and stabilized miner/statelife surfaces. - Resolved context overflow signaling for zero-score capability failures and adjusted unhealthy clock handling after deployer restarts. - Corrected rank surfaces to show valid miner states (INCLUDING TERMINATED and INVALID states with clear reasons). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved throughput and reliability of AI inference fleets through scalable scheduling (Targon) and robust routing (priority with health awareness). - Improved operator visibility and decision-making with live metrics, richer rank/state surfaces, and audit-friendly score snapshots. - Reduced wasted work and instability by tightening retry logic, concurrency controls, and streaming dispatch. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Advanced multi-provider architecture (Targon, Chutes) with provider/router patterns, health checks, and opt-in deployment gating. - Deep expertise in concurrency control, streaming dispatch, and per-env/scheduler scaling. - Performance tuning of long-running workloads (NAVWORLD, sglang, GPU allocation) and robust data modeling (scores/miners, is_valid, termination reasons, invalid reasons). - Operational hardening: improved logging, diagnostic surfaces, and strict validation rules to enhance reliability and observability.
