Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, a focused bug fix in mlcommons/inference enhanced the accuracy of power metric validation by including the Interactive scenario in the calculation. This change updates submission_checker.py to treat 'Interactive' as a valid scenario and adjusts conditional logic to ensure correct power efficiency measurements for interactive submissions. The work is captured in commit 5fbf01a1a800a1cbcca8c36fd1bc200956af5a64 (Update submission_checker.py | Fixes 2325 (#2326)).

Aug 1, 2025Monthly summary for 2025-08 focusing on mlcommons/inference. Delivered a critical optimization in Offline Scenario Inference to reduce wasted computation and prevent errors when offline scenarios are not applicable. Implemented via a conditional inclusion of offline_scenario_path in the preprocessing flow, so offline inference is skipped unless offline is present in all_scenarios. This aligns with the project’s offline deployment performance goals and improves stability across deployments.
