    Allow a job to request both Project Mode Fast Dispatch resources and Cluster Mode resources at the same time

    Provide an estimated Bob Coins cost before running a task

    Before starting a Bob task, users should be able to see an estimate of how many Bob Coins the operation is expected to consume. Today, the actual cost of a complex task can be difficult for a user to anticipate. This becomes particularly important...

    Allow administrators/users to mandate a specific model

    Enable WCA4Z to install and operate without GPU requirements for non-LLM use cases and troubleshooting scenarios.

    WCA4Z currently has a hard dependency on GPU availability. The Watsonxaiifm component fails to install when GPUs are not present, which subsequently prevents a complete installation of WCABase and WCA4Z. GPU resources represent a substantial infra...

    Consider AMD ccd/l3 cache in affinity string

    The WCA chat should let the user up/down-arrow to cycle through recent input text, rather than having to scroll/copy/scroll/paste
