Work History

May 2026

4 Commits • 1 Features

May 1, 2026

In May 2026, delivered Gemma3/4 model support and enhancements for the sglang repo: added Gemma4 MoE NVFP4 architecture, Eagle3 upgrades, auxiliary hidden state capture, and improved weight handling; ensured MTP compatibility and quantization readiness. Fixed a critical MTP crash when bonus_tokens is None in the frozen kv MTP workflow. This work broadens model support, increases stability, and accelerates deployment of Gemma3/4 models, delivering tangible business value and stronger technical foundations. Key technologies involved include MoE NVFP4, Eagle3, MTP, quantization, hidden state handling, and robust debugging with commit-driven delivery.
