JAX CLEARS THE DECK: NVSHMEM DEPRECATED, NUMPY 2.0 SUPPORT DROPPED

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Google

JAX is shipping breaking changes across the stack today, starting with mandatory migration away from NVSHMEM to NCCL Device API and dropping support for NumPy 2.0 and SciPy 1.14 in the 0.11.0 release.

The Mosaic GPU team is removing NVSHMEM usage from XLA custom kernels, forcing customers onto NCCL Device API through collective metadata [1]. This is part of a broader cleanup push: JAX is dropping the deprecated public API module jax.cloud_tpu_init [4], removing stale JAX_IFRT_VERSION ifdefs now that minimum version sits at 55 [3], and purging version tests since jaxlib's minimum is now v0.10.2 [2]. The 0.11.0 release is the hard cutoff for NumPy 2.0 and SciPy 1.14 support [5]. Over on the Python Genai side, version 2.9.0-rc1 is in flight [6]. Google Cloud Python is tightening its typing game: Firestore's CollectionReference now properly annotates .document() calls to return DocumentReference types instead of inheriting base collection typing [7], while the full library suite just finished a librarian regeneration cycle to sync config with generated code [8].
