vLLM integrates LongCat-Flash to scale MLA norms efficiently
October 6, 2026
The LongCat-Flash merge optimizes Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) norms during loading and eliminates the post-load sweep. This update reduces latency and memory overhead when scaling inference for models utilizing MLA architectures.
