Important Updates for Symmetry Providers

We've made some crucial updates to the Symmetry network that all providers should be aware of. These changes aim to improve the overall health and consistency of the network.

New Health Check System

Providers are now marked as either healthy or unhealthy based on their ability to reach their inference provider. This new system ensures that only operational providers are actively participating in the network, improving reliability for users.

Configuration Changes

We've made some adjustments to the official configuration:

  1. apiPath has been renamed to apiBasePath
  2. apiChatPath has been removed

Action Required

All providers must update their configuration to match these changes. You have two options:

  1. Manually update your existing configuration
  2. Delete and regenerate your configuration using the new version

Important: If you choose to regenerate your configuration, be careful as it will overwrite your userSecret. To maintain your current identity on the network, make sure to preserve your existing userSecret.

Steps to Update

  1. Check your current configuration against the official version of twinny or symmetry-core
  2. If regenerating, note down your current userSecret
  3. Make necessary changes or regenerate the configuration
  4. If you regenerated, replace the new userSecret with your previous one
  5. Restart your Symmetry provider to apply the changes

By following these steps, you'll ensure your provider remains healthy and compatible with the latest network standards.

Stay symmetric!
