JAX SYNCS XLA DEPENDENCY TO LATEST REVISION

JAX pinned its XLA dependency to a fresh upstream revision overnight, pulling in compiler optimizations and fixes across the ML stack.

The update [1] moves JAX to XLA revision 5d53e1e, a routine but critical sync that ensures the framework stays aligned with the latest compiler improvements from the OpenXLA project. These dependency bumps matter because XLA is where JAX's actual compute happens—kernel fusions, memory optimizations, device mapping all live there. A fresh revision typically carries performance tuning and bug fixes that percolate down to every model training job running on top of JAX. Watch your next build to ensure no regressions on your ops.
