Congratulations to @crypdoughdoteth and the D_D Cloud Team on the upcoming D_D Cloud RPC launch!!!!
Our friends at Lilypad have been coding up a storm and beefing up their Anura inference API. Over the last handful of weeks, they've shipped out a bunch of new features you can make use of in your AI workflows, such as:
Text-to-audio support: Create crisp-sounding audio recordings with four amazing voices.
Text-to-video support: Create short clip videos using the wan2.1 model through the Anura API.
Embeddings support: Support your agentic workflows using Anura's OpenAI-compliant embeddings endpoint to turn text into numerical vectors, helping power search, recommendations, similarity comparison, and more!
Check out Lilypad's developer docs to start with these new features today!
Exciting news! D_D Cloud is coming soon, and you can now join the waitlist to get early access.
As a special thank you, D_D members will receive exclusive credits to kickstart their cloud journey. Stay tuned for more details as we approach launch!

Next week, Coinbase’s addition to the S&P 500 is expected to drive $16 billion in institutional inflows, overshadowing short-term security worries. Analysts note the breach highlights exchange vulnerabilities, possibly spurring stricter regulations, but praise Coinbase’s ability to absorb costs.
