Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (NVIDIA/cuopt) focused on robustness and correctness for LP problem solving. Key improvement: aligned infeasibility tolerance handling between the main solver and the presolver. The presolver now uses the solver's relative tolerance and disables absolute criteria for LP problems, addressing post-solve infeasibility detection issues. No new user-facing features were released this month; primary impact comes from reliability and accuracy improvements in LP workflows.
