vLLM describes encoder disaggregation for multimodal serving, with metadata-only requests and remote embedding transfer
VLLM Blog published this on Nov 11, 2026 (source: vllm.ai).
A 11 November 2026 vLLM blog post, credited to Inferact, InferMatrix and IBM, details encoder-prefill-decode disaggregation for multimodal serving. It covers metadata-only multimodal requests, a dedicated encoder execution path, remote embedding transfer with failure isolation, reuse of encoder outputs across instances, and lower-overhead EPD routing.
