Announcing the release of Spice v1.0.2 🎓

Spice v1.0.2 adds support for running local filesystem-hosted DeepSeek models including R1 (cloud-hosted via DeepSeek API was already supported) and improves the developer experience for debugging AI chat tasks along with several bug fixes. The HuggingFace and Filesystem-Hosted models providers have both graduated to Release Candidates (RC) and the Spice.ai Cloud Platform catalog provider has graduated to Beta.

Highlights in v1.0.2​

  • spice trace New spice trace CLI command that outputs a detailed breakdown of traces and tasks, including tool usage and AI completions.

    Examples:

    trace> spice trace ai_chat
    [61cc6bd0e571c783] ( 2593.77ms) ai_chat
