January 2026 monthly summary focusing on exploring and validating data-parallel enhancements in Softserve to optimize attention processing. Implemented initial shard_map data-parallel support to accelerate query/key/value projections, followed by a revert to fix issues and stabilize the codebase; planning reintroduction after fixes. Business value: groundwork for higher throughput and better resource utilization in Softserve for larger-scale workloads. Technical outcomes: prototyped shard_map path, evaluated edge cases in attention, demonstrated safe revert/backout strategy, maintained clear Git trace with origin IDs.
