vLLM adds day-zero serving support for Kimi K3.1 Pro on NVIDIA, AMD, TPU and T-Head hardware
Overview
vLLM says it supports serving Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro on the day of its release, on NVIDIA GPUs including Vera Rubin, AMD Instinct MI355X, Google Cloud TPUs, and Zhenwu 810e and M890 chips.
A first-party vLLM blog post also names Alibaba T-Head PPUs, while its X posts list launch images for NVIDIA CUDA 13.0 and 13.4 and AMD ROCm. vLLM says K3.1 combines DSA sparse attention with recurrent Kimi Delta Attention, and that its serving work adds token-sharded prefill, exact top-k merging for decode context parallelism, and a fused low-latency decode path.
The blog post reports up to 1.69× faster time to first token than head-sharded prefill at 340K tokens on 8× GB300. vLLM's X post cites a 1M-token context window and a 65.7% score on Terminal-Bench 4.0 with the Claude Code harness. Inferact says it expanded its partnership with Moonshot AI, made Kimi K3.1 Pro available on the Inferact Platform from launch, and tunes and validates the serving path with Moonshot before each release.

Inferact@inferactOfficialInferact expands Moonshot AI partnership to serve Kimi K3.1 Pro on vLLMAIInferact says it has expanded its partnership with Moonshot AI to bring the Kimi model series to production with vLLM. Kimi K3.1 Pro is available on the Inferact Platform from launch and can be served in vLLM now. Inferact says it tunes and validates the serving path with Moonshot before each release and upstreams its production learnings to vLLM.

AIvLLM says it supports Moonshot AI's Kimi K3.1 Pro on day 0 across NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, Google TPUs and Alibaba T-Head PPUs. The post says the model adds Sparse Attention (DSA) to all 24 full-attention layers, and that vLLM packs its MLA latent, indexer keys and KDA state into one KV cache. vLLM also reports up to 1.69× faster time to first token than head-sharded prefill at 340K tokens on 8× GB300.
