June 2026 (quic/aimet): Delivered AdaScale training improvements, ONNX graph pass and quantization enhancements, and Release/CI/CD infra upgrades. AdaScale now supports opt-in early stopping, configurable loss function, and sequence-dimension loss calculations with a default scaled sum-over-seq-dim loss, enabling more efficient training and potentially better model quality with less compute. ONNX graph passes gained rsqrt-based RMSNorm support and a Gather output quantizer override for the HTP V68 config, improving quantization fidelity and deployment consistency. Release/CI/CD infra improvements migrated docs hosting and release workflows to the Qualcomm organization, fixed docs push email rules, and added curl-based retries for CI dependency installation to improve pipeline resilience. Overall impact: reduced training compute, improved reliability and quality of quantized deployments, and a more maintainable release pipeline. Technologies/skills demonstrated: PyTorch AdaScale, ONNX graph optimizations, RMSNorm, quantization, CI/CD automation, release engineering, and cross-org collaboration.

February 2026 monthly highlights for quic/aimet: delivered a set of performance, memory, and stability improvements across model evaluation, quantization, ONNX export, and CI/CD pipelines. Key changes include wrapping evaluation in torch.no_grad to prevent gradient calculations and enabling CUDAExecutionProvider for ONNX evaluation when available, resulting in lower memory usage and faster inference. Quantization and training memory optimizations reduced peak memory by removing the HardSwish supergroup and freeing intermediate tensors after each batch. Memory leak fixes address ONNX ModelProto leaks during save/load and GPU memory leaks in the AdaScale optimization loop, with added stability tests. ONNX export utilities were enhanced for latest model specs with clarified input/output naming, centralized value-info utilities, and hadamard utility refactors, alongside a temporary ONNX-SIM pin during the transition. Pipeline reliability was improved by adding a dependency to the docker-push-latest step in the nightly CI workflow. These changes collectively improve runtime performance, stability, deployment reliability, and developer experience.
