Breaking Changes

Issue #1

GPTNeoX now remaps `embed_out` to `lm_head`. Users relying on the previous weight naming should update their code.

Issue #2

GPTBigCode has `_supports_attention_backend = True` enabled for vLLM compatibility. Users relying on the previous attention backend behavior should update their code.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    Update code to use `lm_head` instead of `embed_out` for GPTNeoX.
  2. 2
    Ensure compatibility with `_supports_attention_backend = True` for GPTBigCode if relying on previous attention backend behavior.

Release Summary

This release introduces the Inkling multimodal model and TIPSv2, alongside significant improvements in kernel performance, generation capabilities, and bug fixes across various components. It also includes breaking changes for GPTNeoX and GPTBigCode related to weight remapping and attention backend compatibility.
