May 2026 monthly summary for aobolensk/openvino focusing on feature delivery and NPU-level optimizations in the OpenVINO project. Delivered Group Query Attention (GQA) support for fused flash attention in the NPU execution path, with targeted optimizations to K and V tile handling and a dedicated subgraph. Impact: This work enhances attention throughput and reduces latency for attention-heavy models on NPU hardware, enabling more efficient inference workflows in edge and data-center deployments. The changes align with the E#215662 ticket and set groundwork for broader GQA adoption in fused attention scenarios.

April 2026 performance summary for aobolensk/openvino.
