Developed production-ready support for the Qwen3.5 dense model family within the Liger-Kernel repository, enabling compatibility across models ranging from 0.8B to 27B parameters. The work involved implementing a dedicated entry point for applying Liger kernels to Qwen3.5, patching core components such as RMSNorm, SwiGLU MLP, and fused cross-entropy, and integrating Qwen3_5ForCausalLM. Validation included comprehensive end-to-end testing on NVIDIA H200 hardware, with results demonstrating high logits cosine similarity and minimal training loss differences. All updates were reflected in documentation and test utilities, leveraging deep learning, model optimization, and Python development skills to ensure robust integration.
March 2026: Delivered Liger Kernel support for the Qwen3.5 dense model family across 0.8B–27B, with a dedicated apply_liger_kernel_to_qwen3_5 entry point and model-specific integration. Implemented and patched core components (RMSNorm, SwiGLU MLP, and fused cross-entropy) to align with Qwen3.5 architecture, added Qwen3_5ForCausalLM support, and refreshed exports, tests, and docs. Validated end-to-end on NVIDIA H200 with cross-configuration checks and convergence tests. Documentation updated (README, tests) to reflect new model support and usage. Overall, enabled production-ready Qwen3.5 compatibility within Liger Kernel and expanded validation coverage.
