Description

[1.1.0] - 2026/02/03

Added

  • Add newly uploaded resources for CPU-only wheels (#739)
  • Add a new drift compensation mechanism which uses an ideal reference readout. In the default global drift compensation mechanism, all non-idealities (as set by the corresponding rpu_config) are modeled, potentially resulting in sub-optimal drift compensation scales being computed in some scenarios, e.g., where the output noise is sufficiently large.
  • New example (examples/36_gpt2_on_wikitext.py) to run Distil GPT2 on aihwkit with text prediction. (#754)

Removed/Deprecated

  • Function convert_to_analog_mapped in src/aihwkit/nn/conversion.py deprecated and removed.

Changed

  • Replace legacy release-build workflow with the updated build process (#744)
  • Point the online demo link to the correct destination (#743)
  • Update bundled notebook wheel to the GPU-enabled 1.0.0 release (#741)
  • Modifications/Cleanup/Improvements to Time-Stepped Circuit IRDrop example and model implementation (#753)

Fixed

  • Fix memory issues and bugs in analog training for CUDA (#732)
  • Fix convert_to_analog for conv layers (#627)
