v0.9.2

Highlights

This release contains 452 commits from 167 contributors (31 new!)

NOTE: This is the last version where V0 engine code and features stay intact. We highly recommend migrating to V1 engine.

Engine Core

• Priority Scheduling is now implemented in V1 engine (#19057), embedding models in V1 (#16188), Mamba2 in V1 (#19327).
• Full CUDA‑Graph execution is now available for all FlashAttention v3 (FA3) and FlashMLA paths, including prefix‑caching. CUDA graph now has a live capture progress bar makes debugging easier (#20301, #18581, #19617, #19501).
• FlexAttention update – any head size, FP32 fallback (#20467, #19754).
• Shared CachedRequestData objects and cached sampler‑ID stores deliver perf enhancements (#20232, #20291).

Model Support

• New families: Ernie 4.5 (+MoE) (#20220), MiniMax‑M1 (#19677, #20297), Slim‑MoE “Phi‑tiny‑MoE‑instruct” (#20286), Tencent HunYuan‑MoE‑V1 (#20114), Keye‑VL‑8B‑Preview (#20126), GLM‑4.1 V (#19331), Gemma‑3 (text‑only, #20134), Tarsier 2 (#19887), Qwen 3 Embedding & Reranker (#19260), dots1 (#18254), GPT‑2 for Sequence Classification (#19663).
• Granite hybrid MoE configurations with shared experts are fully supported (#19652).

Large‑Scale Serving & Engine Improvements

• Expert‑Parallel Load Balancer (EPLB) has been added! (#18343, #19790, #19885).
• Disaggregated serving enhancements: Avoid stranding blocks in P when aborted in D's waiting queue (#19223), let toy proxy handle /chat/completions (#19730)
• Native xPyD P2P NCCL transport as a base case for native PD without external dependency (#18242, #20246).

Hardware & Performance

• NVIDIA Blackwell
  • SM120: CUTLASS W8A8/FP8 kernels and related tuning, added to Dockerfile (#17280, #19566, #20071, #19794)
  • SM100: block‑scaled‑group GEMM, INT8/FP8 vectorization, deep‑GEMM kernels, activation‑chunking for MoE, and group‑size 64 for Machete (#19757, #19572, #19168, #19085, #20290, #20331).
• Intel GPU (V1) backend with Flash‑Attention support (#19560).
• AMD ROCm: full‑graph capture for TritonAttention, quick All‑Reduce, and chunked pre‑fill (#19158, #19744, #18596).
  • Split‑KV support landed in the unified Triton Attention kernel, boosting long‑context throughput (#19152).
  • Full‑graph mode enabled in ROCm AITER MLA V1 decode path (#20254).
• TPU: dynamic‑grid KV‑cache updates, head‑dim less than 128, tuned paged‑attention kernels, and KV‑padding fixes (#19928, #20235, #19620, #19813, #20048, #20339).
  • Add models and features supporting matrix. (#20230)

Quantization

• Calibration‑free RTN INT4/INT8 pipeline for effortless, accurate compression (#18768).
• Compressed‑Tensor NVFP4 (including MoE) + emulation; FP4 emulation removed on < SM100 devices (#19879, #19990, #19563).
• Dynamic MoE‑layer quant (Marlin/GPTQ) and INT8 vectorization primitives (#19395, #20331, #19233).
• Bits‑and‑Bytes 0.45 + with improved double‑quant logic and AWQ quality (#20424, #20033, #19431, #20076).

API · CLI · Frontend

• API Server: Eliminate api_key and x_request_id headers middleware overhead (#19946)
• New OpenAI‑compatible endpoints: /v1/audio/translations & revamped /v1/audio/transcriptions (#19615, #20179, #19597).
• Token‑level progress bar for LLM.beam_search and cached template‑resolution speed‑ups (#19301, #20065).
• Image‑object support in llm.chat, tool‑choice expansion, and custom‑arg passthroughs enrich multi‑modal agents (#19635, #17177, #16862).
• CLI QoL: better parsing for -O/--compilation-config, batch‑size‑sweep benchmarking, richer --help, faster startup (#20156, #20516, #20430, #19941).
• Metrics: Deprecate metrics with gpu_ prefix for non GPU specific metrics (#18354), Export NaNs in logits to scheduler_stats if output is corrupted (#18777)

Platform & Deployment

• No‑privileged CPU / Docker / K8s mode (#19241) and custom default max‑tokens for hosted platforms (#18557).
• Security hardening – runtime (cloud)pickle imports forbidden (#18018).
