vLLM releases v0.33.0 with new models, faster speculative decoding and PyTorch 2.14
Overview
vLLM (@vllm_project) releases v0.33.0, adding support for the models Reflection Beam-1.0, Step-5 Preview, Nemotron Parse 3.5 and MiniCPM-OCR 1.0.
The project reports 1.5–2x NVIDIA GB300 decode latency gains and 39–48% lower time to first token. It also reports a 1.04–1.31x speedup from FLy lossy verify, a speculative decoding method.
The release moves to PyTorch 2.14 and ships CUDA 13.0-only wheels, so users on older CUDA versions cannot use the new wheels. It also adds a new AWS EFA image. These performance figures are vLLM's own claims from its release announcement.
