pbaylies · x · 2026-08-13
The developer shared updates on vllm.cpp, a high-performance inference serving stack written entirely in C++ with zero Python dependencies.
Within a week, the project garnered over 800 commits and 280 stars. Beyond the core stack, community contributors have rapidly brought up support for various hardware backends, including:
- AMD GPUs
- Tenstorrent chips
- Nvidia Jetson Thor edge devices
- Mamba kernels
The author calls for more developers to contribute to building a versatile, high-performance inference stack.
