My latest podcast is an interview from the recent PyTorch event in Paris. In it I speak with Mark Collier, executive director of the PyTorch Foundation and announcements from the event. If you use LLMs and AI tools, the chances are the model it uses were trained with PyTorch, so this is foundational stuff!

IBM Research introduced the RITS Platform to provide its research community with shared access to model inference endpoints. vLLM is at the heart of the RITS Platform and has been critical to democratizing access to the latest LLMs as they release. “The vLLM community is vibrant and responsive, and with collaborative expertise, we are able to do great things both upstream and internally by leveraging and contributing to this groundbreaking project. vLLM has been critical to democratizing access to our research community to the latest and greatest LLMs as they release.” – Priya Nagpurkar, Vice President, AI Platform, IBM Research Read our latest case study: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gVjCnBDm #vLLM #PyTorch #OpenSourceAI

Mark Collier, Executive Director of PyTorch Foundation and General Manager of AI & Infrastructure at The Linux Foundation, opened PyTorch Conference Europe 2026 with a keynote on how the open source intelligence stack advances through coordination across hardware, software, and open source communities. He shared updates on our growth, our expanding set of hosted projects, and why open collaboration remains essential to building AI infrastructure at global scale. 🎥 Hear from Mark: https://lnkd.in/gHmMTHRw #PyTorchCon #PyTorch #vLLM #DeepSpeed #Ray #Helion #Safetensors #ExecuTorch #OpenSourceAI

What to streamline the process of packaging your apps for AI accelerated computing? Michael Kennedy of Talk Python Training interviews a coalition from NVIDIA, Astral, and QuantSight who have been working on Wheel Next: A set of PEPs that let packages declare what hardware they need and let installers like uv pick the right build automatically.

llm-d published a new post on KServe + llm-d + vLLM for production LLM inference on Kubernetes. Authors from Red Hat and Tesla describe how the stack addressed routing, customization, and day-2 operational challenges, citing 3x higher output tokens/s and 2x lower TTFT in one deployment after enabling prefix-cache aware routing.
