April 2026 monthly performance summary for flashinfer-ai/flashinfer focused on reliability and cross-architecture compatibility for NVFP4 MoE workloads. Implemented a stability fix by enabling GDC for CUTLASS fused MoE modules, aligned with upstream CUTLASS, and expanded GDC coverage to SM100+ and SM90. Centralized changes across multiple modules, synchronized internal grid dependency controls, and validated against heavy-load MoE scenarios on DGX Spark (SM121) and RTX 50-series (SM120). Verified AOT build compatibility (12.1a) and no adverse effects on existing GEMM paths. Result: improved stability, fewer crashes under load, and broader hardware support for large-context inference.
