Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 (2026-03) delivered high-value model and stability improvements for ping1jing2/sglang. Key feature: Kimi-K2.5-w4a8 model support with quantization and a new ModelSlimConfig to optimize linear layers and attention, enabling more efficient multimodal processing. Major bug fix: DeepSeek distributed attention handling corrected by replacing a deprecated gather function, ensuring accurate hidden-state management in distributed environments. Impact: higher throughput and lower memory footprint for multimodal workloads, improved reliability and deployment confidence in DP mode. Technologies demonstrated: quantization, ModelSlimConfig optimization, attention mechanisms, distributed processing, and rigorous code maintenance. Business value: faster inference, reduced resource usage, and more robust multimodal capabilities across distributed deployments.
