vLLM reports 10.2x MiniMax-M3.1-Flash throughput gain on NVIDIA Vera Rubin
Overview
vLLM says MiniMax-M3.1-Flash runs 10.2x faster per chip on NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 than on GB300 NVL72 in SemiAnalysis AgentX, at 546 P90 tokens per second per user.
The gain is 6.5x at 376 P90 tokens per second per user and reaches 1,205 P90 tokens per second per user at low concurrency. vLLM attributes further gains to engine optimizations and Rubin-optimized kernels, including MiniMax Sparse Attention and decode-specialized kernels, and says it is "just getting started" on more.
Separately, SemiAnalysis reports that NVIDIA and Inferact submitted an initial vLLM benchmark on Rubin NVL72 that delivers 6.5x better performance per TCO than GB300 NVL72. SemiAnalysis says the submission uses a locality-aware MoE feature in CUDA 13.4 that reduces latency and increases realized HBM bandwidth by about 1.2x.
The vLLM figures are its own claims and have not been independently verified.

SemiAnalysis@SemiAnalysis_XNVIDIA and Inferact submit initial vLLM Rubin NVL72 benchmark resultAINVIDIA and Inferact have submitted an initial vLLM benchmark on Rubin NVL72 that the post calls state-of-the-art, with 6.5x better performance per TCO than GB300 NVL72. The submission uses a new locality-aware MoE feature in CUDA 13.4, which the post says reduces latency and increases realized HBM bandwidth by about 1.2x.

vLLM@vllm_projectOfficialvLLM reports further Rubin performance gains on MiniMax M3.1 modelAIvLLM says its engine optimizations and Rubin-optimized kernels, including MiniMax Sparse Attention and decode-specialized kernels, have pushed performance further since its M3.1 blog post. The gains build on earlier Rubin work covered in the M3.1 and Vera Rubin preview posts. vLLM says it is "just getting started" on further optimizations.
