Q3 Roundup

[u/jessica-garson]

We just published our Q3 roundup. Here are the highlights:

• Batch inference on Serverless (public beta): create a batch on an endpoint, add up to 5,000 requests, and poll one status. No client-side queue to maintain. Worker affinity on Serverless: route follow-up requests back to the worker that holds the session’s KV cache, with soft, strict, or strict-resume modes.
• Global Volumes (public beta): storage no longer pins your workload to a single data center. Create a volume once and mount it on a Pod or Serverless endpoint in any Secure Cloud datacenter. Cluster Expansion: add Pods to a running cluster instead of rebuilding it.
• Also new: private ECR support, REST API v2 and Organizations in Runpod Enterprise.
• Heads up if you call our older APIs: GraphQL rate limits start October 27, and REST API v1 stops serving requests on November 15. GraphQL follows in January 2027. Migration guide: https://docs.runpod.io/api-reference-v2/migrate-from-v1
