March 2026 – vllm-gaudi delivered a validated Granite-4-h-small workflow with CI-based quality gates and memory-aware evaluation, strengthening reliability for GSM8K benchmarks. Key outcomes include a new Granite-4-h-small configuration model card, updates to the evaluation function for GPU memory utilization and sequence limits, and a dedicated CI test suite for Granite-4-h-small (commit 46e0a40489c1e4f9ddc3d83814d8e942e777c2c8). The initial CI blocker was resolved by integrating the fix from #1017, enabling CI to pass and accelerate validation. These changes improve deployment readiness, reproducibility, and confidence in Granite-4-h-small in production contexts.
