SGLang adds Unified Memory shared GPU arena for hybrid model inference
Overview
SGLang introduces Unified Memory, a shared arena that allocates GPU memory dynamically across full-attention KV cache, sliding-window KV cache, and recurrent state.
LMSYS Org says fixed memory partitions waste GPU capacity in hybrid model inference, and the arena removes the partitioning settings, supports any page size, and includes speculative draft KV.
The announcement is a single post on X from LMSYS Org, which includes an image comparing fixed partitions that strand capacity with one shared arena where capacity follows demand. The post does not report any measured throughput or memory-savings figures.

LMSYS Org says fixed memory partitions waste GPU capacity in hybrid model inference, and the arena removes partitioning knobs, supports any page size, and includes speculative draft KV. The image shows fixed partitions stranding capacity compared with a single shared arena where capacity follows demand.
