+## Timeline of CM developments
+
+### **🚀 2022: Foundation and Early Developments**
+
+- **March 2022:** Grigori Fursin began developing **CM (Collective Mind)**, also referred to as **CK2**, as a successor to CK [at OctoML](https://github.com/octoml/ck/commits/master/?since=2022-03-01&until=2022-03-31).
+- **April 2022:** **Arjun Suresh** joined OctoML and collaborated with Grigori on developing **CM Automation** tools.
+- **May 2022:** The **CM CLI** and **Python interface** were successfully [implemented and stabilized](https://github.com/octoml/ck/commits/master/?since=2022-04-01&until=2022-05-31) by Grigori.
+
+---
+
+### **🛠️ July–September 2022: MLPerf Integration and First Submission**
+
+- Arjun completed the development of the **MLPerf Inference Script** within CM.
+- OctoML achieved **first MLPerf Inference submission (v2.1)** using **CM Automation** ([progress here](https://github.com/octoml/ck/commits/master/?since=2022-06-01&until=2022-09-30)).
+
+---
+
+### **📊 October 2022 – March 2023: End-to-End Automation**
+
+- End-to-end MLPerf inference automations using CM was successfully [completed in CM](https://github.com/octoml/ck/commits/master/?since=2022-10-01&until=2023-03-31).
+- **Additional benchmarks** and **Power Measurement support** were integrated into CM.
+- **cTuning** achieved a successful MLPerf Inference **v3.0 submission** using CM Automation.
+
+---
+
+### **🔄 April 2023: Transition and New Funding**
+
+- Arjun and Grigori departed OctoML and resumed **CM development** under funding from **cKnowledge.org** and **cTuning**.
+
+---
+
+### **🚀 April–October 2023: Expanded Support and Milestone Submission**
+
+- MLPerf inference automations were [extended](https://github.com/mlcommons/ck/commits/master?since=2023-04-01&until=2023-10-31) to support **NVIDIA implementations**.
+- **cTuning** achieved the **largest-ever MLPerf Inference submission (v3.1)** using CM Automation.
+
+---
+
+### **🤝 November 2023: MLCommons Partnership**
+
+- **MLCommons** began funding CM development to enhance support for **NVIDIA MLPerf inference** and introduce support for **Intel** and **Qualcomm MLPerf inference** implementations.
+
+---
+
+### **🌐 October 2023 – March 2024: Multi-Platform Expansion**
+
+- MLPerf inference automations were [expanded](https://github.com/mlcommons/ck/commits/master?since=2023-10-01&until=2024-03-15) to support **NVIDIA, Intel, and Qualcomm implementations**.
+- **cTuning** completed the **MLPerf Inference v4.0 submission** using CM Automation.

+### **👥 May 2024: Team Expansion**
+
+- **Anandhu Sooraj** joined MLCommons to collaborate with **Arjun Suresh** on CM development.
+
+---
+
+### **📖 June–December 2024: Enhanced Documentation and Automation**
+
+- **Dedicated documentation site** launched for **MLPerf inference**.
+- **CM scripts** were developed for **MLPerf Automotive**.
+- **CM Docker support** was stabilized.
+- **GitHub Actions workflows** were added for **MLPerf inference reference implementations** and **NVIDIA integrations** ([see updates](https://github.com/mlcommons/mlperf-automations/commits/main?since=2024-06-01&until=2024-12-31)).
