September 2025 monthly summary for EdgeFirstAI/documentation focused on delivering business value through onboarding improvements, documentation restructuring, and a robust 3D content suite. Key features delivered include enhancements to user management and onboarding, documentation and convention updates, and expanded 3D documentation with new tutorials and benchmarks to accelerate adoption and evaluation. In particular, user onboarding was streamlined (DE-2167) with split onboarding pages, splash screens, updated navigation and doc formatting, plus notes on token handling; documentation was restructured for discoverability (DE-2142) with a dedicated EVK doc, a Model Zoo directory, and Getting Started in model sections, complemented by global training/validation pages. The 3D documentation footprint expanded significantly (DE-2182, DE-2184) with 3D MLOps intro, 3D Data Viewers, and 3D annotations, while discrete fusion training and validation tutorials (DE-2185, DE-2186) were added to the 3D sections. Benchmarks for Raivin Ultra Short and Getting Started content in model sections were introduced to shorten evaluation cycles and accelerate onboarding. Minor UX/debug fixes were completed (e.g., login button alignment and 3D model path corrections) to stabilize the docs experience.
