Google launches native PyTorch inference engines for vLLM and SGLang on TPU

Google announced new vLLM and SGLang inference engines built directly on PyTorch for TPU, developed with Inferact and RadixArk respectively. The engines run on a new TorchTPU layer that makes TPUs a native PyTorch device, replacing the previous JAX-based backend approach. Google reports a public benchmark result of 2.01 cents per million tokens in high-concurrency configurations via the SemiAnalysis InferenceX project, plus support for agentic workloads, long context, disaggregated serving and multimodal models.

Google completes open Coral NPU edge-AI architecture and compiler, first commercial chips ship

Google Research announced the final milestone of its Coral NPU open hardware standard — a 32-bit RISC-V architecture with a new Matrix Execution Unit for up to 1 TOPS at roughly 10mW — plus a v1.0 open-source IREE/MLIR compiler that takes JAX, PyTorch and TensorFlow models directly to the hardware. Synaptics is launching the first commercial silicon built on this standard, including the Astra SR200 microcontroller series (400 GOPS) and new Coralboard SR and SL developer kits, with the SL now generally available via DigiKey. Google is also partnering with VeriSilicon and GlobalFoundries to bring the open RTL into production chips.

llm-d 1.0 released: open-source Kubernetes-native inference stack matures for production

Red Hat, IBM, and Google announced llm-d 1.0, a Kubernetes-native distributed inference serving system that moves beyond proof-of-concept performance tricks into full production readiness. The release adds multi-tenant quality of service, zero-downtime operations, and agent-aware serving so the same endpoint can handle both human users and autonomous agents efficiently. In one test, llm-d's prefix-aware router captured 97% of available cache reuse on an agentic coding workload, and IBM/Red Hat ran 3,000 concurrent software-engineering agents for 5 to 10 times less cost than using the same model as a hosted service.
