March 2026 monthly summary for openvinotoolkit/model_server: Build System Stabilization by aligning Curl across the build workflow. Updated the Curl version in the WORKSPACE and related scripts to resolve compatibility issues, enabling reliable, error-free builds in local and CI environments. This reduces downtime due to dependency/version mismatches and improves overall development velocity.

February 2026 highlights: Implemented major CLI enhancements for model export, stabilized demo environments, and strengthened security and deployment readiness across OpenVINO toolkits. Key outcomes include an enhanced model export workflow via CLI (caching alignment, preprocessing options, trust remote code during export), deployment documentation updates to include the OVMS docker image, and improvements to ONNX/model demos and agentic demos. Security and dependency hardening (curl on Windows, vulnerable Python packages) reduced risk and improved compliance. These changes reduce deployment friction, increase reliability of exports and demos, and demonstrate solid cross-team collaboration across model_server and tokenizers components.

January 2026: Expanded OpenVINO Model Server capabilities with two customer-impact features, complemented by documentation and test enhancements to boost adoption and security posture.
