What happened

The official source reports this update: b10684: sycl: make --fit respect --fit-target better. sycl: make --fit respect --fit-target better ( #27629 ) improve the --fit algorithm to take into account the actual peak required VRAM for a given context size on a SYCL backend. This includes both properly accounting for how much VRAM is required when the allocated context is fully used (which makes the reported context drop below what it did before, but stop it OOMing) as well as preventing some overly-conservative calculations which meant too much VRAM was being reserved.
