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.
