May 1, 2026May 2026 Monthly Summary (quic/efficient-transformers): Resolved a multi-image/multi-prompt correctness issue in Qwen3VL by switching the hidden-state usage from a single index to the full hidden_states, ensuring accurate outputs across batched inputs in CB workflows. Also performed basic cleanup of the example script and the model file to improve maintainability. Commit 5d753007a084ab3a03a5a76844e8e1e2743a097f documents the fix and rationale.

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.
