Jul 1, 2026

July 2026 monthly summary for NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge. Delivered new CLI configurability for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) experiments, enabling quick testing of different MoE architectures via the CLI. Implemented a new CLI argument to configure the number of MoE experts and updated the argument parser and the override utility to propagate this setting into the model configuration. This work accelerates performance benchmarking, improves reproducibility, and supports targeted MoE tuning with minimal code changes.

April 2026 performance summary for NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge. Delivered consolidated PCT binding configuration improvements to support DeepSeek-V3 with PCT binding and optimized workload settings for B300 GPUs, along with targeted compatibility tuning on Nemotron 3 Super for BF16. To ensure stability, PCT binding for Nemotron 3 Super + BF16 was disabled where conflicts arose. These changes streamline configuration, improve throughput predictability on high-end GPUs, and enhance cross-platform readiness for BF16 workloads.
