- What happened
- vLLM added day-0 support for Mistral Large 4, a 1-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts multimodal model with sparse attention and speculative decoding.
- Why it matters
- Engineers deploying large language models need this when running Mistral Large 4 on NVIDIA or AMD GPUs for inference at scale.
- Watch out
- Mistral Large 4 requires vLLM's model runner V2 and runs only on that infrastructure; existing V1 deployments cannot use it directly.
