Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, delivered a focused, end-to-end documentation overhaul for SambaNova/Metis Inference in argonne-lcf/user-guides. The effort consolidated SN40L Metis inference documentation, endpoints usage, naming conventions, navigation, and access guides to improve usability, accuracy, and onboarding. Key changes included aligning endpoint naming to updated conventions (e.g., metis_endpoint_N) and updating login node references (login-03/login-04). The update also adds a runnable sample command for the Python inference script and reorganizes menus to facilitate discovery. Quality work included typo fixes, clarifications, and TODOs to guide maintainers. These changes reduce user friction, shorten onboarding and support time, and improve reliability of deployed guidance.
