vLLM Introduces Online-Fitted Acceptance Estimator for Adaptive Verification
The vLLM blog describes an online-fitted acceptance estimator that enables Adaptive Verification for draft-model speculators without requiring a confidence head. The estimator predicts the target's acceptance probability from the drafter's own logits and refits continuously during serving, allowing every draft-model speculator to use the technique.

vLLM Cuts TTFT Up to 3.3x with Bi-Directional KV Transfer; Push-Based NIXL Connector Improves Disaggregated Inference
vLLM introduced bi-directional KV transfer that lets prefill nodes reuse previously computed KV from decode nodes on later conversation turns, cutting redundant prefill recompute and reducing TTFT by up to 3.3x on long multi-turn prompts. Separately, a push-based NIXL connector for disaggregated inference transfers KV over RDMA directly from prefill to decode memory, removing router relay, decode-side allocation, and transfer setup from the TTFT critical path.
