Google's JAX team is renaming a core Mosaic GPU attribute, and it will break your cross-process parameter code.

Google's JAX team is renaming the `multimem_parameters` Mosaic attribute to `symmetric memory parameters`, a change that will impact anyone using Mosaic GPU for cross-process or multimem workloads [1]. The attribute marks parameters that "should be copied to the symmetrical memory space," so the rename clarifies intent but will require updating your code [2]. The change landed via two commits, one by copybara-service and one by a human author, with the latter including the PiperOrigin-RevId [2]. Meanwhile, the XLA dependency was bumped to a specific revision, likely to keep pace with the GPU backend changes [3]. If you're on Mosaic GPU, plan to update your parameter annotations before your next deploy.
