Nemotron-3.5-Transcribe lands native vLLM integration with FP8/NVFP4 and speculative decoding

aakashgupta · x · 2026-10-28

vLLM's native integration of NVIDIA Nemotron-3.5-Transcribe (PR #64282) is in review: a native audio tower replaces <|audio|> placeholders in the NemotronH decoder prompt, with FP8/NVFP4 checkpoint loading, OpenAI-compatible chat completions and /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoints, plus MTP and DFlash2 speculative decoding. Available today via NeMo Speech's vLLM 0.32.0 plugin.
