 # Changelog
+## v1.1.0 (2026-10)
+* Fused attention block now covers L = 768 and 1024 (projection and QK^T matmuls in 512-column chunks, grouped
+  LayerNorm epilogue). `patch_model` uses it by default at those lengths instead of nkilib `attention_cte`:
+  1.24-1.70x faster than v1.0.0 and 1.41-2.17x faster than stock PyTorch Native at L = 768 / 1024.
+  Outputs at L <= 512 are bit-identical to v1.0.0 (simulator).
+* `patch_model(model, attn_lengths=...)` selects the lengths that use the fused block.
 ## v1.0.1 (2026-10)
