October 2025 delivered targeted platform-level improvements across two Tenstorrent repos (tt-xla and tt-mlir), focusing on expanding test coverage, accelerating transformer workloads, and strengthening compiler/dialect capabilities. In tt-xla, we expanded test coverage for attention concat_heads (including transpose), added a BERT MHA create heads test, and extended element-wise scatter tests in the JAX/TT-XLA path, improving reliability and catching edge cases earlier. In tt-mlir, we implemented a matmul+add fusion into a single linear operation (with a batched-input bias workaround), registered QKV split and split heads ops with TTIR/TTNN definitions and tests, and enhanced TTNN scatter support for element-wise and multi-dimensional cases along with accompanying conversion patterns and a decomposition workaround. These results drive better runtime performance, enable more aggressive transformer optimizations, and lay the groundwork for broader stack-wide optimizations.
