We’re thrilled to announce that we’re breathing new life into the Docker Model Runner community, and we want you to be a part of it! Our goal is to make it easier than ever for you to contribute, collaborate, and help shape the future of running AI models with Docker.
From a Limited Beta to a Universe of Possibilities
When we first announced Docker Model Runner, it was in its beta phase, exclusively available on Docker Desktop and limited to Apple and Nvidia hardware. We received a ton of valuable feedback, and we’ve been hard at work making it more accessible and powerful.
Today, we’re proud to say that Docker Model Runner is now Generally Available (GA) and can be used in all versions of Docker! But that’s not all. We’ve added Vulkan support, which means you can now run your models on virtually any GPU. This is a huge leap forward, and it’s all thanks to the incredible potential we see in this project and the community that surrounds it.
Making Contributions a Breeze
We’ve listened to your feedback about the contribution process, and we’ve made some significant changes to make it as smooth as possible.
To start, we’ve consolidated all the repositories into a single, unified home. This makes it much easier to find everything you need in one place.
We have also invested a lot of effort in updating our documentation for contributors. Whether you’re a seasoned open-source veteran or a first-time contributor, you’ll find the information you need to get started.
