Mar 1, 2025March 2025 — PaddlePaddle/Paddle: FP32 fused-kernel safety check reinstatement and FP32 OOM risk mitigation. Reverted a prior fix that caused FP32 OOM in some models and re-enabled a safety check that disables fused kernels for FP32 datatypes under specific conditions to address instability and OOM risk. This work stabilizes FP32 inference, reduces production risk, and preserves overall performance.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered stability improvements for FP32 fused GEMM epilogue path in PaddlePaddle/Paddle to prevent OOM and performance regressions. By routing FP32 through the FP16 path where appropriate and temporarily disabling FP32-specific fused GEMM epilogue optimizations, we reduced memory pressure, improved reliability, and preserved throughput across FP32 workloads. This work lowers deployment risk for larger models and enhances inference stability across models and configurations.
