June 2025 monthly summary for HabanaAI/vllm-fork focusing on stabilizing Llava v1.5 7B integration by addressing accuracy and performance degradation. Implemented a targeted graph-breaking fix (htcore.mark_step) in the multimodal embedding merging logic to restore expected accuracy and execution time; root-cause investigation launched to prevent regressions and guide further improvements. The effort resulted in restored model reliability and reduced risk of production degradation.

May 2025 monthly summary focused on delivering Llama 4 model support in the vLLM fork and enabling hardware-compatible deployment paths on Habana HPU.
