# (Mar 4, 2026) Container Spec Optimization & New XLarge Performance Launch on Mar 10

Hello, this is the Arkain Customer Experience team.

We are writing to inform you that **container spec optimizations** and the **new XLarge performance** tier will be implemented starting **March 10, 2026**.

To support the latest AI tools, we have optimized our container specs to a 1:4 (vCPU to Memory) ratio. This update **doubles your memory for a more stable experience—all while keeping pricing exactly the same**.

***

#### Container Spec Optimization: 2x Memory at No Extra Cost

New or stopped containers apply the update automatically upon creation or startup. For active ones, please \[Restart] or \[Stop & Run] to apply the new specs—your files and configurations will remain safe. (Micro and GPU remain unchanged.)
