Latest News 🔥

• [2026/08] We released 0.26.0 - aligned with the vLLM 0.26 release line, featuring MiniMax H3 joint video/audio generation, an experimental full-duplex realtime runtime for MiniCPM-o 4.5, distributed layerwise diffusion offload, and broader model, hardware, streaming, TTS, and quantization support.
• [2026/07] We released 0.24.0 - aligned with the vLLM 0.24 release line, expanding production-ready coverage across TTS, speech, diffusion, image/video generation, and robot-policy serving, with major Omni stage runtime refactoring, diffusion request-level batching, async output materialization, quantization/cache/memory improvements, and broad CUDA/ROCm/XPU/NPU support.
• [2026/06] Starting with 0.14.0, vLLM-Omni publishes a stable release aligned with every even-numbered upstream vLLM minor version. 0.16.0, 0.18.0, 0.20.0, and 0.22.0 continued this cadence, expanding omni and world-model support with NVIDIA Cosmos3 and DreamZero, adding models such as MiniCPM-o 4.5, MOSS-TTS, and Lance, and advancing TTS, diffusion, distributed execution, quantization, RL integration through VeRL-Omni, and CUDA/ROCm/MUSA/NPU/XPU coverage.
• [2026/03] Check out our first public project deepdive at the vLLM Hong Kong Meetup!
• [2025/11] vLLM community officially released vllm-project/vllm-omni in order to support omni-modality models serving.

About

vLLM was originally designed to support large language models for text-based autoregressive generation tasks. vLLM-Omni is a framework that extends its support for omni-modality model inference and serving:

• Omni-modality: Text, image, audio, video, and action data processing
• Non-autoregressive Architectures: extend the AR support of vLLM to Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and other parallel generation models
• Heterogeneous outputs: from traditional text generation to multimodal and action outputs

vLLM-Omni is fast with:

• State-of-the-art AR support by leveraging efficient KV cache management from vLLM
• Pipelined stage execution overlapping for high throughput performance
• Fully disaggregation based on OmniConnector and dynamic resource allocation across stages

vLLM-Omni is flexible and easy to use with:

• Heterogeneous pipeline abstraction to manage complex model workflows
• Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
• Tensor, pipeline, data and expert parallelism support for distributed inference
• Streaming outputs
• OpenAI-compatible API server
• Full-duplex realtime serving with streaming audio input and output (experimental)

vLLM-Omni seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:

• Omni-modality models (e.g. Qwen3-Omni, MiniCPM-o 4.5, Cosmos3, HunyuanImage, BAGEL)
• TTS models (e.g. Qwen3-TTS, VoxCPM2, Ming-Omni-TTS, CosyVoice3)
• Diffusion models — image, video, and audio generation (e.g. MiniMax H3, Qwen-Image, Wan2.2, FLUX)
• Robot-policy and action models (e.g. GR00T-N1.7, DreamZero-DROID, InternVLA-A1, Cosmos3 action policy)
