vLLM Ecosystem Powers Kimi K3 and GLM-5.2 on TPUs

Why we picked it

TPU inference for Chinese open-weight models signals that serving stacks are diversifying beyond NVIDIA, with vLLM TorchTPU as the concrete path to run models like GLM-5.2 and Qwen3.5 397B on Google silicon. Teams evaluating inference cost and hardware options should follow the SemiAnalysis write-up for benchmark details on the AgentX results.

The vLLM project thanked SemiAnalysis for highlighting the ecosystem's work on TPU inference. The coverage covers the Kimi K3 megakernel and vLLM TorchTPU, which power AgentX results across GLM-5.2, Qwen3.5 397B, and Kimi K3. The project credited @inferact and Google Cloud for pushing vLLM performance on TPU.
