Business impact: restored performance parity and stability on ROCm hardware, reducing variance in model execution time. - AIter attention backend default for AMD/ROCm devices (feature). Introduced the aiter attention-backend as the default on AMD/ROCm devices, with CI/Dockerfile/core model runner changes and updated CI timeouts to accommodate new defaults. Commit: 5c0b38f369df64e95255bf5d2080acb885d4fa61. Business impact: simpler deployment on AMD/ROCm hardware, faster time-to-value for users leveraging AMD GPUs, and improved CI reliability for these configurations. - ROCm-compatible non-block-quantized FP8 quantization for DeepSeek models (feature). Enabled non-block-quant FP8 quantizations to improve ROCm compatibility and address FP8 data-type issues; refactored quantization logic and documented for future ROCm kernel work. Commit: 183d9f969c24790f143f8a7795e3a7f4d678e88d. Business impact: broader ROCm support, easier deployment of FP8-quantized models, and groundwork for ROCm kernel optimizations.

March 2025 closed a set of ROCm-focused MOE improvements in openanolis/sglang, delivering substantial business value through AMD GPU-optimized features and correctness fixes. Key work included fused ROCm MoE operations integrated with the aiter library, FP8/INT4-FP8 quantization, and refactored AMD-focused integration with updated weight scaling/shuffling workflows for FP8. Added Flex Attention support on ROCm with custom backends, updated the Docker base image, and implemented HIP kernels to align MOE behavior with ROCm backends for better performance. A padding correctness fix for fused MoE on ROCm was implemented to ensure correct padding decisions across quantization, block shapes, and HIP environment scenarios. Overall, these changes expand large-scale MOE deployment on ROCm, improve single-node scalability, and enhance model performance on AMD GPUs, with a strong emphasis on reliability and maintainability.
