Month: 2025-11 — quic/aimet delivered substantial GenAI quantization and testing framework improvements, expanded cross-framework support, and stabilized the GenAI scorecard workflows. Key outcomes include a new GitHub Action for GenAI quantization testing, enhanced ad-hoc GenAI tests with base64 configs, profiling and recipe alignment between Torch and ONNX GenAI workflows, SpinQuant integration for Phi3 and Qwen 2.5 VL, and AdaScale integration. The GenAI scorecard workflow was hardened to prevent progression when all builds fail, and the timeout was extended from 12 hours to 7 days to accommodate longer processing. These efforts reduce validation cycle time, enable safer experimentation with larger GenAI models, and improve reliability of automated quantization validation. Technical breadth demonstrated includes CI/CD, GenAI quantization tooling, profiling (ONNXRegression profiler), cross-framework recipe synchronization, SpinQuant, and AdaScale.
