Altare (Altare, 1506321032678473740)

my apologies for the incorrect channel for those webhooks

spooky scary skeletons


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone we’re not dead. allow me a few hours and you’ll all see


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

Console will temporarily be running the same one from Altare 10. But it will work


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

it doesn’t matter anymore. A host working is better than nothing. It’s not Altare 12 but it’s something


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

everything will be set back up shortly

what takes more time?

A) The amount of time needed to create another human being B) Altare


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone hello people i am back to work on altare today


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

i’m sure it will get delayed to 2045


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

the above was a joke but I doubt any of you will believe the host is coming so I’ll show progress in general


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

also to the two individuals trying to exfiltrate money out of us that we don’t owe: https://discord.com/channels/841027661420691456/1465562005455769671/1512806266706067651


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@here half done with the first day working on altare again, here is the progress as it is unlikely anyone believes me

  • panel is clustered and redundant, 6 clusters plus haproxy and galera. should be redundant across providers so if somehow altare’s entire owned network packs in it will switch over with no outage. likely similar setup for console as heliactyl next is heliactyl next
  • pve and whatever for altare’s owned infra was already up
  • nodes ordered and ready to be set up

so what’s left is setting up the console making a few changes and setting up the site and whatever else


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

I’ve made some changes to the panel source code to hopefully alleviate rate limiting and performance issues with Heliactyl

It’s likely you’ll all get Altare 10 again but without the disastrous performance


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

we are now at the stage where the console is being worked on


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone

We are holding a special event on 12 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. It will be streamed live from Altare’s YouTube channel, as usual

-

In other news, Heliactyl Next 18 - the upcoming new software powering Altare’s console is now available. It introduces a new more fluid, improved UI, a complete rewrite of Heliactyl’s internals, dramatically better performance and patches several critical bugs and vulnerabilities. Interested in using it for your host? Please reach out to hello@altare.gg

altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

The new Arc Code is now in public beta

Please react with :thumbsup: to be added to the waitlist. You will receive a DM from the Altare bot if you are selected for testing

Arc Code now has workflows, is built for significantly longer horizon tasks and now supports the latest Arc Magnus and Arc Colossus models from Altare AI

Temporarily, it will not ask you to sign in with the Altare Console. In a few days, it will require that

assets/messages/attachment_1514349043558383626.png


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone I’ve accidentally lost the video for the event today so we’ll either just release Altare 12 without or it I’ll make a new one quickly. Apologies


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

Everything is still on time


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

The console is currently up right now but it’s disabled as we’re trying to fix some network issues


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

We have submitted Altare’s new mobile app (only Android to begin with, as that’s what most people here use) to the Play Store for review


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone We have held back the release as Altare’s network is switching to Lumen to fix stability issues

If we haven’t mentioned it before: Altare no longer relies on other providers and uses our own infrastructure and network for better control. You will all notice this, as all of our IPs show “Altare, Inc.” as the ISP. In the long term, this will result in a much better experience for everyone as we have faced problem after problem with cloud providers, and that’s alleviated by using our own infrastructure


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

The current ETA is today


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

Please keep in mind that we did not have a choice here. Consistent issues with our current upstream would seriously impact users trying to use the new Altare. We do not want a repeat of any of the previous two releases, we want a smooth release of Altare 12


altare (altare, 1510599724279922838)

@here Work on Altare’s infrastructure has finished. Progress will now continue and Altare 12 will release imminently. It is certainly better than before: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/fa63ecfe-d97f-4e51-80f6-5cc15b6d2a9f

Altare 121?


Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone If anyone wants access to the Altare Android app please DM your Google email to @Ether (ethdr, 258262924986941440)

It is ready but in order to be published on Google Play it must be “tested” for 14 days

Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

:warning: Currently a bug with the app with creating servers. Will be fixed with the next release


Lirn (lirnn, 1230563250752458753)

Creating, sharing, or using tools designed to abuse Altare services will result in a ban from Altare services. This is a warning


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Please note that many services are not allowed on Altare:

  • Tor or any form of proxy
  • Cryptocurrency miners
  • Anything illegal in our jurisdiction
  • Code that would be considered malicious, ex. scrapers
  • WhatsApp bots (unfortunately due to spam)

Shell servers may be falsely flagged. You will need to open a ticket and explain what your use case is in order to be manually unsuspended


Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

We are deploying new nodes


Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

The following nodes have been provisioned: au-syd03, au-syd04, br-gru05, br-gru06, br-gru07, br-gru08, ca-yul03, ca-yul04, de-fra05, de-fra06, de-fra07, de-fra08, fr-par02, gb-lon05, gb-lon06, gb-lon07, gb-lon08, ie-dub03, ie-dub04, in-bom05, in-bom06, in-bom07, in-bom08, in-bom09, in-bom10, in-bom11, in-bom12, in-bom13, in-bom14, in-bom15, in-bom16, in-bom17, in-bom18, jp-kix02, jp-tyo05, jp-tyo06, jp-tyo07, jp-tyo08, kr-icn05, kr-icn06, kr-icn07, kr-icn08, se-arn02, sg-sgp07, sg-sgp08, sg-sgp09, sg-sgp10, sg-sgp11, sg-sgp12, sg-sgp13, sg-sgp14, sg-sgp15, sg-sgp16, sg-sgp17, sg-sgp18, sg-sgp19, sg-sgp20, sg-sgp21, sg-sgp22, sg-sgp23, sg-sgp24, sg-sgp25, sg-sgp26, sg-sgp27, sg-sgp28, sg-sgp29, sg-sgp30, us-cmh02, us-iad05, us-iad06, us-iad07, us-iad08, us-pdx05, us-pdx06, us-pdx07, us-pdx08, us-sjc03, us-sjc04

Currently 128 nodes are available and 17 locations


Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

Due to abuse, credit transfers have been disabled

At this time, we are not accepting manual approval. This may change within the next few hours (or tomorrow)


Altare (Altare, 1510599724279922838)

@everyone There are widespread issues with our Cryogenic software causing all of the nodes to crash. We are working on it


Lirn (lirnn, 1230563250752458753)

You no longer need to open a ticket to claim rewards Go to the #rewards (1466142547461017876) channel and click Your Rewards to check what you can claim or use the /rewards command. Before claiming make sure your Altare wallet handle ID is set here: https://altare.gg/billing/credits/settings

Tickets should now only be opened for support issues, not reward claims


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@everyone I apologise for the lack of updates and no clear reason as to why Altare is gone again

We will be back very soon. Due to issues with our upstreams and infrastructure providers, we have had difficulty keeping nodes stable and have kept things off to prevent instability for users. This will change very soon


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Once this is resolved, we anticipate (at minimum) months of stable service


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

We would like to raise money and in the future a Series A, and to do this we need to make sure people are happy with Altare and our platform works perfectly

We have also achieved this, the last problem is the nodes. Our console issues are gone


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Either way, we will give everyone 1500 credits to try Altare again when things are stable. And if something goes wrong for some reason, we’ll give everyone even more. We are confident


nadhi (nothingwhere_wht2, 1411742194582421656)

two problems in one solution ahh


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@everyone We are preparing to bring services back online (this time for the forseeable future)

Currently we will have a few relatively random locations available, ex Warsaw (PL) and Jakarta (ID), but this is because we know this infrastructure is stable and won’t have issues. Then we will expand the amount of locations


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

ETA is later today


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Altare’s Android app will continue working and it will be the exact same console


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

delightful

Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@everyone Altare is now available again

All services will return to normal within the next few hours. You can use your same account with https://altare.gg, and all people have kept their credits and resources


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Tickets will be reset due to a huge backlog, you can also claim rewards again


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Current locations are temporary, we will expand the amount available soon


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Please also keep in mind that with the new Altare, your data is perfectly safe. We’ve taken the time to pick out providers that are reliable and won’t result in further issues


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

We are performing a short maintenance on the Altare platform to complete the switchover to our new accounts.altare.gg system

You may notice a brief period where the Altare Console does not work. Your current account will work once the switchover has been completed, and no servers, credits or anything will be lost


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Maintenance completed


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@everyone

Altare Cloud now available (beta)

You can now deploy VMs (VPS servers) on Altare’s infrastructure. We have London and Los Angeles available right now, plus some very reasonable pricing. All plans come with NVMe drives, a 72 hour refund policy, CosmicGuard DDoS protection and plenty of other features.

It’s billed hourly and easy to get started

https://cloud.altare.gg


Altare app version 1.0.2 now available

  • This release fixes support for Altare, it now works with the new accounts system and the Console’s new URL. It does not yet support Altare Cloud

Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@here Investigating issues in Jakarta, ID

We believe this is due to the nodes being overloaded and shutting off. As such, we will deploy a few more of them and move some servers to balance it out

They should be back online within 10 mins, you may need to start your server again if you get moved off. Unfortunately, our allocation system put far too many servers on those nodes


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

We are also resizing these nodes to 512GB RAM


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

All services in Jakarta have recovered. We apologise for any disruption


nadhi (nothingwhere_wht2, 1411742194582421656)

Service under maintenance.


Lirn (lirnn, 1230563250752458753)

We’re back online! Sorry about the unexpected downtime things went sideways for a bit for unknown reasons, but everything is stable now


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Here’s the summary for you all:

Apologies for the outage, while I was asleep one of the upstreams for Altare’s network was undergoing maintenance and the panel and web clusters didn’t correctly switch back to healthy after it ended


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

We’re shuffling some roles in management, @Lirn (lirnn, 1230563250752458753) will be considered the new 2nd in command over Altare


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

There will also be new nodes deployed tomorrow


Lirn (lirnn, 1230563250752458753)

live stream the review process


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Updates are coming to Altare very soon

We’re starting with the first batch which will start rolling out to users over the next few hours

  • Plugins, software and mod manager: Our Console now allows you to easily manage plugins, software (ex. Paper) and mods if you’re running a Minecraft Java server
  • New EU/NA locations: We’re deploying several new locations in Europe and the US to replace the former Warsaw location

And in the next few days:

  • Altare X subscription: If you’d like access to Ryzen 9 5950X/9950X hardware and some extra features, you can subscribe to Altare X for $9.99/mo. Eventually, this will include extra benefits on Altare Cloud and extra quota on Arc Code and Arc Chat too. It’s fully optional, we won’t ever remove free features

Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

Introducing Arc Magnus (new) and Arc Image 3

Arc Magnus is part of Altare’s new next generation fully trained in-house Arc family. It’s powered by our 10th generation foundation model and is the first model from the new Altare AI team

It’s quite an impressive model for us. Arc Magnus acheives 56.8 on Humanity’s Last Exam / HLE, which is just below Claude Opus 4.8, and 79.5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1

Alongside this, it includes Arc Image 3 for image generation, and soon Arc Video

Arc Image 3 is one of the best image models available, it’s much sharper and significantly better at text and small edits than the previous image models, and it’s one of the highest quality image models available

It’s built into Magnus and will be available as part of the new model launch upon the release of the new Altare AI platform launching in the next few days


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@everyone ^ for all updates


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

For clarification on where Magnus sits in the new model lineup, it is the “medium” size

Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

@here There have been delays as bulk amounts of hardware have been set up

We will add about 45 nodes shortly. This is likely the last time for the forseeable future that we will add nodes, as 90%+ of our new hardware are equipped for inference to serve Arc models instead of for hosting


Erlich Bachman (altaregg, 1024300865949024387)

If these 45 nodes fill up or have performance issues, we will repurpose some machines to add additional capacity


Matt James (ethwr, 1049816501567373383)

@everyone Apologies for the silence, we will have some updates soon. This release will not reset your credits, servers, resources or any data. We will announce more information soon
