 ## Latest Update 🔥 
+- [2024/07] We added extensive support for Large Multimodal Models, including [StableDiffusion](https://github.com/jason-dai/ipex-llm/tree/main/python/llm/example/GPU/HuggingFace/Multimodal/StableDiffusion), [Phi-3-Vision](python/llm/example/GPU/HuggingFace/Multimodal/phi-3-vision), [Qwen-VL](python/llm/example/GPU/HuggingFace/Multimodal/qwen-vl), and [more](python/llm/example/GPU/HuggingFace/Multimodal).
+- [2024/07] We added **FP6** support on Intel [GPU](python/llm/example/GPU/HuggingFace/More-Data-Types). 
 - [2024/06] We added experimental **NPU** support for Intel Core Ultra processors; see the examples [here](python/llm/example/NPU/HF-Transformers-AutoModels). 
 - [2024/06] We added extensive support of **pipeline parallel** [inference](python/llm/example/GPU/Pipeline-Parallel-Inference), which makes it easy to run large-sized LLM using 2 or more Intel GPUs (such as Arc).
 - [2024/06] We added support for running **RAGFlow** with `ipex-llm` on Intel [GPU](docs/mddocs/Quickstart/ragflow_quickstart.md).
