What's new in the v0.7 line: hal0's first beta

The hal0 team

v0.7.3-beta.1 is hal0’s first beta. The headline is the dashboard: it graduates from a status panel into a full operations console. Everything below traces to the changelog — no roadmap promises, just what landed.

The dashboard is now an ops console

Section titled “The dashboard is now an ops console”

The inference, NPU, and ComfyUI cards are unified into one profile-card style. Profiles moved into the Slots tab under an engine-style header, the memory + throughput band was lifted above the tabs, and a live-journal footer now carries runtime and service-health groups. Slot cards came out of the accordion so they read at a glance.

ComfyUI image generation, first-class

Section titled “ComfyUI image generation, first-class”

A full ComfyUI generation engine is wired into the platform — model store, capability picker, installer, and a V2 Image-Gen pane. Generation flips the GPU into exclusive image mode via the iGPU switchover, and an Inference-tab dot tracks live state so you always know what the accelerator is doing.

NPU occupancy and the Operator Board

Section titled “NPU occupancy and the Operator Board”

The XDNA NPU gets a living occupancy grid with per-slot accents — it breathes with real activity instead of hiding behind a static picker. Alongside it, the Operator Board is a hal0-skinned kanban wired to the bundled Hermes agent (/api/board/*), with a live agent-chat drawer and working task creation.

Honesty under the hood

Section titled “Honesty under the hood”

The less flashy changes matter most for an operator’s tool:

  • Slot health is honest. A slot is marked ready only once its real /health passes — not on a systemd snapshot that lies about readiness.
  • Per-slot context is derived, never silently inheriting llama-server’s 4096-token default; the edit-drawer default is 16k.
  • Hardware reports the live GTT total, not a stale cached probe value — so the unified-memory pool you see is the pool you have.
  • Disabled-but-running slots are surfaced instead of vanishing.
