 He also explained the need for hardware-specific compilation, noting how memory usage can spike dramatically during builds depending on the target (e.g., CUDA, ROCm, TPU). To improve flexibility and developer access, he introduced vLLM’s new hardware plugin system. This plugin architecture makes vLLM more device-agnostic and further strengthens its position as a robust and scalable AI serving ecosystem.
