[2025/10] vLLM TPU: A New Unified Backend Supporting PyTorch and JAX on TPU
Previous News 🔥
About
vLLM TPU is now powered by tpu-inference, an expressive and powerful new hardware plugin unifying JAX and PyTorch under a single lowering path within the vLLM project. The new backend now provides a framework for developers to:
- Push the limits of TPU hardware performance in open source.
- Provide more flexibility to JAX and PyTorch users by running PyTorch model definitions performantly on TPU without any additional code changes, while also extending native support to JAX.
- Retain vLLM standardization: keep the same user experience, telemetry, and interface.
Recommended models and features
Although vLLM TPU’s new unified backend makes out-of-the-box high performance serving possible with any model supported in vLLM, the reality is that we're still in the process of implementing a few core components.
For this reason, we’ve provided a Recommended Models and Features page detailing the models and features that are validated through unit, integration, and performance testing.
Get started
Get started with vLLM on TPUs by following the quickstart guide.
Visit our documentation to learn more.
Compatible TPU Generations
- Recommended: v7x, v5e, v6e
- Experimental: v3, v4, v5p
