[ysh329]

Hi all, based on our quarterly release schedule, next release is coming on Oct. The next release is vital for downstream companies, especially depended on TVM, whatever software or hardware companies.

Enable those software or hardware companies to have ability using large language model. Advance the democratization of AI.

Thus, it's necessary to discuss required features like v0.16.0 discussion (#16719):

• New features. Will be the highlight of next release, attracting downstream companies or users.
  • New features without risks need to be highlighted.
  • Whether there are features that must be entered, but this time there may be risks. Do we need to delay time for this feature?
• Bugs.
  • Should be considered, especially those obstacle new and core features.

I hope we can list required highlight features (with or without risks) and bugs needed to be fixed before release schedule begin.
