Taking vLLM Apart: A Practical Guide to Disaggregated Serving

Disaggregated serving has come down from a research claim to an operational guide. The key is using p99 latency rather than average throughput as the yardstick, since agent loops are directly exposed to tail latency. It

vLLM
vLLM releases a Tiered KV Cache Offloading framework

An inference-architecture shift in which, as long multi-turn and agent workloads become standard, the KV cache extends beyond GPU memory into the storage hierarchy.

vLLM, AMD, Embedded LLM
vLLM, AMD and Embedded LLM optimize MiniMax M3 on AMD Instinct MI355X

A record, in concrete numbers, of AMD GPUs being optimized in a major open inference engine into a real alternative to NVIDIA.

vLLM
vLLM publishes optimization results for SemiAnalysis's AgentX benchmark

As agentic coding becomes the representative workload of inference serving, the goal of benchmarks itself has shifted from one-shot throughput to the economics of long multi-turn sessions.

vLLM
vLLM details Hybrid HiSparse offloading in GLM 5.3 optimization part 1

An attempt to handle contexts in the 1 million-token class on a single node; solutions to the memory bottleneck of long-context agents are converging on a combination of sparse attention and hierarchical memory.

vLLM
vLLM adds sharded weight-transfer engine built on Ray Direct Transport

Multi-node model loading and weight swapping (RL rollouts) are promoted to first-class problems of the serving stack

vLLM
vLLM introduces Model Runner V2

The second rewrite of the execution layer since the V1 redesign. Serving competition moved from kernels to schedulers and execution cores

vLLM project
vLLM project announces vLLM-Omni

A sign that open-source serving infrastructure, once text-only, is expanding to cover non-autoregressive and multimodal generation

vLLM
vLLM releases its V1 engine in alpha

Made prefix caching the default; up to 1.7× faster than V0
