Nemotron 3.5 Lightning
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is an open 30B-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 3B active parameters, designed for high-volume, low-latency execution in long-running and always-on AI agents. Built for the execution layer of agentic systems, it handles frequent tasks such as tool calls, output validation, routine commands, and subagent delegation while larger reasoning models focus on planning and orchestration. Its MoE architecture activates only a fraction of parameters for each token, combining the capacity of a larger model with lower compute requirements. The model is trained for popular agent harnesses and supports speculative decoding through multi-token prediction, DFlash, and DSpark to improve inference speed across different serving scenarios. It is available with BF16 and NVFP4 checkpoints and can run from local systems such as DGX Spark and GeForce RTX hardware to data center environments.

vLLM
vLLM is a high-performance library designed to facilitate efficient inference and serving of Large Language Models (LLMs). Originally developed in the Sky Computing Lab at UC Berkeley, vLLM has evolved into a community-driven project with contributions from both academia and industry. It offers state-of-the-art serving throughput by efficiently managing attention key and value memory through its PagedAttention mechanism. It supports continuous batching of incoming requests and utilizes optimized CUDA kernels, including integration with FlashAttention and FlashInfer, to enhance model execution speed. Additionally, vLLM provides quantization support for GPTQ, AWQ, INT4, INT8, and FP8, as well as speculative decoding capabilities. Users benefit from seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models, support for various decoding algorithms such as parallel sampling and beam search, and compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs, AMD CPUs and GPUs, Intel CPUs, and more.

BaseRT
BaseRT is a high-performance LLM inference runtime for Apple Silicon that lets developers pull models from Hugging Face, chat with them locally, or serve an OpenAI-compatible API from one CLI. Accelerated by hand-written Metal kernels, it is designed to deliver fast prefill and decode performance on M-series Macs, with published benchmarks showing up to 6.4× faster prefill than llama.cpp, 3.9× faster than MLX, and up to 1.33× faster decode. The basert CLI handles model downloading, conversion, interactive chat, serving, completion, benchmarking, inspection, and bundle signing. Its server supports chat, completions, embeddings, transcription, tool calls, continuous batching, paged KV caching, and prefix caching, while supported models can process text, vision, and audio. BaseRT uses its own .base model format with Q2–Q8 affine quantization, optional AWQ calibration, and signed bundles, and can convert GGUF, Hugging Face, and MLX checkpoints.
