vLLM 0.29.0 makes Model Runner V2 the default runtime for all models, adds CUDA-graph KV auto-sizing, batch-sharded sampling, prompt embeds, and padded FULL cudagraph dispatch for spec decode. New model support includes Hy4-preview (770B MoE), Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, GraniteSWA/MoeSWA, NemotronH Omni V3, and Kimi K3 NVFP4. Adds admission-control flags, deterministic prefix-cache hashing, FlashInfer all-reduce by default, RL sharded weight-sync backend, Mamba prefix caching, and p

capability delta

an agent can now serve inference via vLLM 0.29.0 with Model Runner V2 as default, new admission-control flags, deterministic prefix-cache hashing, per-request speculative decode metrics, and support for Hy4, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, Kimi K3 NVFP4, and DeepSeek V4.
