Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for quic/efficient-transformers focusing on Gemma3 improvements, stability, and CI/test reliability. Delivered performance enhancements and CI/test infrastructure updates enabling longer sequence handling and robust image-description query validation in a continuous batching workflow. Implemented a sliding-window cache strategy (QEffSlidingWindowCache) and updated the cache utilities to HybridSlidingWindowCache to address edge cases when prompt+generation length approaches or exceeds the window. All changes are documented in the following commits and tied to the Gemma3 path in the quic/efficient-transformers repo: - 75bf9762db16e41b2d15031aaed373f1203757b5: Fixing SW issue in Gemma3, cache updated with HybridSlidingWindowCache in cache utils (Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarkar) - 27ebe8e8ba83970560e80dc480e0266b5fb8e626: Adding support for gemma3 in continuous batching script for CI (Signed-off-by: Dipankar Sarkar)

Oct 1, 2025Monthly work summary for 2025-10 focused on stabilizing Olmo2 attention masking in quic/efficient-transformers. Implemented a robustness fix by replacing a hardcoded masking value with a defined MIN_MASK constant to ensure masked attention weights stay within defined bounds. This change improves reliability of the Olmo2 attention calculation during training and inference, addressing issue #589 and reducing edge-case failures.

Aug 1, 20252025-08 Monthly Summary: Stabilized vision-model export workflows in quic/efficient-transformers by fixing a critical argument-passing bug. The onnx_dir parameter is now correctly forwarded as a keyword argument in export and compile methods across model classes, preventing export-time failures when onnx_dir is provided. This fix reduces deployment friction and enhances the reliability of vision-model export pipelines. No new user-facing features were released this month; the focus was reliability, maintainability, and API consistency. Technologies demonstrated included Python keyword-argument handling, ONNX export workflows, and cross-class API coordination for export paths.
