Impressive deep dive! It’s great to see the vLLM team maximizing the GB200’s potential. These kinds of kernel-level optimizations are exactly why the PyTorch ecosystem continues to be the foundation for next-gen inference performance.

And above all, it says something even stronger: the era of "sharing" AI is over, the era of "bravo" to others for your model is abolished. The stakes have become too big and too grand. Make way for trade war by every means necessary.

Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime: Fast Streaming ASR with vLLM Support
By
–
Congrats to @MistralAI on releasing Voxtral Mini 4B Realtime! 🎉 Day-0 support in vLLM! A 4B streaming ASR model achieving <500ms latency while matching offline model accuracy, supporting 13 languages. vLLM's new Realtime API `/v1/realtime` provides audio streaming – optimized for voice assistants, live subtitles, and meeting transcription! Thanks to the close collaboration between the vLLM community and @MistralAI for making this production-grade support possible 🤝 📑Model & Usage: huggingface.co/mistralai/Vox… Mistral AI (@MistralAI) Voxtral Realtime is built for voice agents and live applications. Its natively streaming architecture delivers latency configurable to sub-200ms. And at 480ms, it stays within 1-2% WER of our offline model. We release the model as open weights under Apache 2.0. — https://nitter.net/MistralAI/status/2019068828257333466#m
