Challenge: Create a Nosana Template

For this bounty, we will be focusing on creating Templates for the Nosana Dashboard.

Nosana provides standard "Templates" to help users Deploy Models on Nosana. With this bounty, we want to increase the number of templates provided for ours users. These templates vary from running DeepSeek LLMs to running a VS Code instance on Nosana.

So in this Bounty, you'll be creating a new template, by creating a new Nosana Job Definition File.

This can be done either through the Nosana Dashboard Interface, or by creating and editing a JSON file and posting it to the Nosana Network using the Nosana CLI Tool.

For example, a template that allows users to deploy a Flux.1 Model. There is a preference for deploying AI models, but other use cases are also welcome. Either option is valid, and up to you which one you feel the most comfortable with.

But at the end of the day, you will need to submit a Pull Request to the Nosana GitHub Template Repository with the necessary files to incorporate it into the Dashboard.
