Ocean Protocol Adds Free Compute Feature to VS Code Extension to Prevent Image Generation Scaling Issues
馃敡 Free compute fixes
Ocean Protocol has introduced a Free Compute feature to their VS Code extension to address image generation failures during rapid scaling.
The new feature allows users to:
- Start with small, fixed-seed baselines
- Lock their settings for consistency
- Save both configurations and outputs
- Maintain stable, repeatable runs
This approach helps developers experiment and scale at their own pace while avoiding common pitfalls that occur when scaling too quickly.
Users receive 7,200 seconds of free compute time to test the feature and get started with their projects.
The extension continues Ocean's mission to provide seamless AI development tools that combine compute power, privacy, and algorithms directly within developers' preferred IDE environment.
We鈥檝e noticed that image generation often breaks when users scale too fast. That鈥檚 one of the reasons we added the Free Compute feature to the Ocean VS Code extension Users can start with a small, fixed-seed baseline, lock their settings, and save both the configuration and the
Singapore Court Lifts Confidentiality on Fetch Emergency Arbitration Award
The Singapore Court of Appeal has confirmed that confidentiality protections no longer apply to emergency arbitration proceedings involving Fetch. The court agreed with the lower court's assessment that **Fetch's own conduct** made it unreasonable to expect confidentiality would remain intact. **Key developments:** - Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's original decision - Interim confidentiality orders have been discharged - Emergency arbitrator's award is now publicly available The full arbitration award document has been [republished here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G7rb3z6VUq82u2eQsikkMrqhD3FTkKtE/view?usp=sharing). This ruling marks a significant shift in the case, as materials that were previously sealed are now part of the public record. The decision centered on whether confidentiality could reasonably be expected to continue given the circumstances and actions taken by Fetch during the proceedings.
Ocean Network Launches MCP Integration for AI Agent Compute Management
Ocean Network has introduced **ON MCP**, a new integration that transforms how AI agents interact with compute infrastructure. **Key capabilities:** - Discover and connect to compute providers automatically - Validate algorithms and launch jobs programmatically - Manage storage and retrieve results across the network - Direct integration eliminates manual chatbot-style interactions This builds on Ocean Network's March beta launch of their **GPU orchestration platform**, which addressed: - GPU sprawl and idle compute waste - Pay-per-use pricing model - IDE integration via Ocean Orchestrator The MCP integration represents a shift from conversational AI interfaces to **autonomous agent workflows** that can independently manage distributed compute resources.

NVIDIA H200 GPUs Now Available at $2.16/Hour on Ocean Network
**Affordable AI compute is here.** Ocean Network has launched access to NVIDIA H200 GPUs at $2.16 per hour with pay-as-you-go pricing. **Key details:** - No upfront costs or waiting lists - Pay only for actual usage time - Available now through the Ocean Network Dashboard **Why it matters:** High-end GPU access has traditionally been limited by cost and availability. This pricing model removes financial and access barriers for developers and researchers who previously couldn't afford enterprise-grade AI infrastructure. The H200 represents NVIDIA's latest generation of AI accelerators, typically reserved for large organizations with significant budgets. Ocean's approach democratizes access to this hardware through tokenized compute resources. [Access H200 GPUs on Ocean Network](https://oceanprotocol.com)
NVIDIA H200 GPUs Now Available on Ocean Network at $2.16/Hour
**Ocean Network launches premium NVIDIA H200 GPU access** Ocean Network has made NVIDIA H200 GPUs available through their dashboard at $2.16 per hour. The service includes: - **Pay-per-use pricing** with escrow-protected payments - **Free compute credits** for testing - **Remote execution** on global nodes - **Direct IDE integration** via Ocean Orchestrator The platform addresses common cloud computing pain points by charging only for actual execution time. If a node fails, no charges apply. If code fails, users pay only for compute actually used. Key features include: - Pre-qualified, benchmarked nodes - Containerized job execution - Real-time monitoring and logs - Fast recovery when nodes go offline Users can launch AI workloads directly from VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity, or Windsurf editors without managing infrastructure or dealing with idle billing.
