During his six-month tenure, Petar Markovic enhanced the tenstorrent/tt-forge-fe and tt-forge-models repositories by building robust model loader extensions and improving Llama model training workflows. He implemented support for TinyLlama and CodeGemma 2B variants, expanding model compatibility for machine learning experiments. Petar focused on test reliability and correctness, refactoring training and inference tests to reflect real-world memory constraints and aligning them with evolving API requirements. His work leveraged Python, PyTorch, and MLIR, emphasizing deep learning, model loading, and compiler development. These contributions improved validation coverage, reduced risk in CI, and established a solid foundation for future model experimentation.
