vLLM v0.33.0 Ships PyTorch 2.14, New Models and NVIDIA Gains

Why we picked it

The ABI-stable libtorch build and CUDA 13.0-only wheels mean teams pinned to older CUDA versions must plan their upgrade path before pulling this release. Serving operators running NVIDIA GB300 or AMD GPUs gain measurable latency and throughput wins, and inference engineers can adopt the new OCR and reasoning models immediately. Step-5 Preview support also signals tighter integration with Chinese frontier models for self-hosted deployments.

vLLM v0.33.0 was released with 927 commits from 389 contributors, including 122 first-timers. The release adds support for four new models: Reflection Beam-1.0, Step-5 Preview, Nemotron Parse 3.5 and MiniCPM-OCR 1.0. It moves to PyTorch 2.14 with CUDA 13.0-only wheels and a libtorch ABI-stable build. NVIDIA performance improved with 1.5-2x decode latency gains on GB300 and 39-48% lower TTFT, while ROCm 10.0 becomes the default for AMD. Speculative decoding additions include XPress refiner and FLy lossy verify with 1.04-1.31x speedups.
