vLLM Adds Weight Streaming Support for DeepSeek-V4/V4.1 VL
October 17, 2026
The vLLM inference engine now supports streaming language-model weights for DeepSeek-V4/V4.1 VL models, bypassing the need for checkpoint sorting. This optimization reduces latency and memory overhead during model loading in production runtimes.
