2026.3.0

Summary of major features and improvements  

• More GenAI coverage and framework integrations to minimize code changes

  • New models supported:
    • On CPU, GPU, and NPU: SmolLM3-3B, LFM2-1.2B, LFM2.5-1.2B
    • On CPU and GPU: Harrier OSS-v1-0.6B, Qwen3-8B with EAGLE-3, MiniCPM5-1B, FLUX.2-klein-4B
    • Extended to GPU and NPU: YOLO26
    • Additional models available as early releases on CPU and GPU: Qwen3-ASR, Qwen3-Omni, Gemma-3n, Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B, Kokoro-82M
  • Support for Hugging Face Transformers v5.5, ensuring compatibility with the latest model architectures on Hugging Face

• Broader LLM model support and more model compression techniques

  • OpenVINO™ GenAI extends the EAGLE-3 speculative decoding pipeline to LLMs and VLMs, enhancing existing continuous batching and adding Top-K sampling to deliver additional token-generation speedups on CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs.
  • Lazy weight loading is enabled for IR and ONNX models to automatically select an optimal loading and compilation path, minimizing peak memory usage during model initialization.
  • Neural Network Compression Framework (NNCF) now supports FP8 quantization for ONNX models, helping developers realize FP8 performance, accuracy, and memory gains while expanding low-precision inference options for production deployments.
  • OpenVINO™ GenAI now supports three additional pipelines: Omni for multimodal workloads, ASR for speech recognition, and Embedding for multimodal embedding generation.
