Life of an inference request (vLLM V1): How LLMs are served efficiently at scale
vLLM is an open-source inference engine that serves large language models. We deploy vLLM across GPUs and load open weight models like Llama 4 into it. vLLM sits at the intersection of AI and systems programming, so we thought that diving into its details might interest our readers.

Introducing gpt-oss
We’re releasing gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—two state-of-the-art open-weight language models that deliver strong real-world performance at low cost. Available under the flexible Apache 2.0 license, these models outperform similarly sized open models on reasoning tasks, demonstrate strong tool use capabilities, and…

Cerebras Inference: AI at Instant Speed
We are excited to announce the release of Cerebras DocChat, our first iteration of models designed for document-based conversational question answering. This series includes two models: Cerebras Llama3-DocChat, a large language model (LLM), and Cerebras Dragon-DocChat, a multi-turn retriever model.

Designing more efficient quantum circuits with Claude
Working largely on its own, Claude designed quantum circuits that improve on the best published versions, in some cases by an order of magnitude or more.

Stable Diffusion launch announcement
The model itself builds upon the work of the team at CompVis and Runway in their widely used latent diffusion model combined with insights from the conditional diffusion models by our lead generative AI developer Katherine Crowson, Dall-E 2 by Open AI, Imagen by Google Brain and many others. We are

AARON: AI Art Generator from 1973
Harold Cohen (1928 – 2016) explored AI and art for nearly 50 years before we saw the rising popularity of these new machine learning tools. In those five decades, Cohen worked on a single program called Aaron that involved teaching a robot to create drawings. Aaron’s education took a similar pa

We made Grok 4.5, GPT-5.5, and Claude build the same apps
Grok 4.5 just launched. So we had it, GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Fable 5 one-shot the same interactive apps, then measured latency and cost. Here is who won.

Against LLM Maximalism
LLMs are not a direct solution to most of the NLP use-cases companies have been working on. They are extremely useful, but if you want to deliver reliable software you can improve over time, you can't just write a prompt and call it a day. Once you're past prototyping and want to deliver the best system you can…

Agents that imagine and plan
Imagining the consequences of your actions before you take them is a powerful tool of human cognition. When placing a glass on the edge of a table, for example, we will likely pause to consider how stable it is and whether it might fall. On the basis of that imagined consequence we might readjust the glass to prevent…

How AI is affecting productivity and jobs in Europe
Artificial intelligence promises to reshape economies worldwide, but firm-level evidence on its effects in Europe remains scarce. This column uses survey data to examine how AI adoption affects productivity and employment across more than 12,000 European firms. The authors find that AI adoption increases labour…

Fixing Tool-Call Accuracy in vLLM
Tool call accuracy is an important part of serving open-weight AI models. When your tool calls aren’t accurate, the model builds up on nonsensical context. We’ve been carrying our own fork of vLLM to hit 100% in tool call schema accuracy with Kimi and DeepSeek. Fortunately, vLLM 0.31 added support for constrained…
