Latest update (11-11 22:40): NVIDIA and Inferact submit initial vLLM Rubin NVL72 benchmark result

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.
