 ## 🎉 Latest Updates
 
-- 2025/07: Voxtral with mistral-common tokenizer support has been integrated in Axolotl. Read the [docs](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/voxtral)!
-- 2025/07: TiledMLP support for single-GPU to multi-GPU training with DDP, DeepSpeed and FSDP support has been added to support Arctic Long Sequence Training. (ALST). See [examples](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/alst) for using ALST with Axolotl!
-- 2025/06: Magistral with mistral-common tokenizer support has been added to Axolotl. See [examples](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/magistral) to start training your own Magistral models with Axolotl!
+- 2025/07:
+  - ND Parallelism support has been added into Axolotl. Compose Context Parallelism (CP), Tensor Parallelism (TP), and Fully Sharded Data Parallelism (FSDP) within a single node and across multiple nodes. Check out the [blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/accelerate-nd-parallel) for more info.
+  - Axolotl adds more models: [GPT-OSS](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/gpt-oss), [Gemma 3n](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/gemma3n), [Liquid Foundation Model 2 (LFM2)](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/lfm2), and [Arcee Foundation Models (AFM)](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/afm).
+  - FP8 finetuning with fp8 gather op is now possible in Axolotl via `torchao`. Get started [here](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/mixed_precision.html#sec-fp8)!
+  - [Voxtral](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/voxtral), [Magistral 1.1](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/magistral), and [Devstral](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/devstral) with mistral-common tokenizer support has been integrated in Axolotl!
+  - TiledMLP support for single-GPU to multi-GPU training with DDP, DeepSpeed and FSDP support has been added to support Arctic Long Sequence Training. (ALST). See [examples](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/alst) for using ALST with Axolotl!
 - 2025/05: Quantization Aware Training (QAT) support has been added to Axolotl. Explore the [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/qat.html) to learn more!
-- 2025/04: Llama 4 support has been added in Axolotl. See [examples](https://github.com/axolotl-ai-cloud/axolotl/tree/main/examples/llama-4) to start training your own Llama 4 models with Axolotl's linearized version!
 - 2025/03: Axolotl has implemented Sequence Parallelism (SP) support. Read the [blog](https://huggingface.co/blog/axolotl-ai-co/long-context-with-sequence-parallelism-in-axolotl) and [docs](https://docs.axolotl.ai/docs/sequence_parallelism.html) to learn how to scale your context length when fine-tuning.
