Mar 1, 2025

March 2025: Delivered two major workflow enhancements for whittle: a fully end-to-end Finetuning workflow and improved Distillation documentation. The Finetuning workflow covers data loading, model setup, optimization, validation, and includes tests for multiple training strategies, enabling reproducible end-to-end experiments. The Distillation Workflow documentation now announces availability and links directly to the distillation script, improving discoverability and onboarding. Together, these changes improve developer productivity, reduce time-to-first-run for new contributors, and strengthen repository maintainability and collaboration.

Jan 1, 2025

In January 2025, the whittle team delivered a new multi-objective sub-network search workflow in whittle, enabling the identification of Pareto-optimal sub-networks across criteria such as validation loss and parameter count. This included a dedicated search_sub_networks.py module, CLI argument parsing, unit tests, and the ability to save optimized sub-networks as individual checkpoints. Documentation and test hygiene were strengthened for pruning and the new workflow, with README updates, a random-initialization unit test, and a note linking the workflow in the docs. These changes improve reproducibility, accelerate robust model selection, and enhance onboarding for engineers and researchers.
