March 2026 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments and business impact across two critical repos: jeejeelee/vllm and flashinfer-ai/flashinfer. Delivered robustness in graph execution and added decoding flexibility to support real-world model-serving workloads.

February 2026 was a focused sprint delivering stability, performance, and new capabilities across vllm projects. Key outcomes include memory-stable video frequency computation caching to prevent OOM, the introduction of BailingMoeV2.5 with enhanced linear attention and new activations, and the Chunk-gated delta rule via FlashInfer to accelerate GDN prefill. We also improved maintainability and deployment safety by reverting fusion in Qwen3.5 to preserve modularity and by disabling allreduce_rms_fusion by default when pipeline parallel size exceeds 1. These initiatives reduce memory risk, accelerate workflows, enable more capable models, and strengthen configuration safety for larger-scale deployments. Demonstrated proficiency in memory optimization, model engineering, low-level kernel enhancements, and pipeline-parallel strategies, delivering measurable business value.
