Changelog

August 13, 2026

VIC 1.0.3

  • Added NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B VL, Google Gemma 3 4B, NVIDIA Cosmos3 Edge, and NVIDIA Cosmos3 Nano as selectable VLM models. Selecting a model alone does not deploy it. You still need the matching VLM sidecar running on the VIS server.
  • Renamed the VLM "Endpoint URL" field to "VLM Server" and made it accept a plain address such as vlm.docker:8000; VIC adds the http:// scheme and /v1 path on save, so localhost:8000 is stored as http://localhost:8000/v1.
  • Added a Verify button that checks the VLM server is reachable and reports which model it's serving. If the server serves a single model that differs from the one you selected, Verify switches your selection to match it so you can save it.
  • Fixed VLM streams failing to start when no endpoint or model was configured anywhere; VIC now falls back to the bundled vLLM defaults (http://vlm.docker:8000/v1) and logs a warning so you know the stream is using the built-in endpoint rather than your own.

VIC 1.0.2

  • Configured event listeners now appear in a single list, so you can see everything you've set up at a glance.
  • Removed alert-style coloring from CPU/GPU statistics that could imply a problem when none existed.
  • Tooltip help now displays correctly.
  • The maximum tokens setting is now limited to a valid range.
  • Removed an unnecessary warning that could appear when the keyframe interval was fine.
  • Thumbnail selections now stay in place as you navigate.
  • Added error handling to the HLS playback page when streams are no longer available.
