This means you get 35B-scale quality with ~8GB VRAM for Q4 inference. Significant efficiency win over the dense 27B.\n26|- DeepSeek-V4-Pro — Now the #2 most-liked DeepSeek model (4,405 likes). Full inference support just arrived in SGLang v0.5.12.\n27|- Gemma 4 family — Google's latest offering. The 31B-it variant (2,811 likes) is the sweet spot for 24GB GPUs.\n28|\n29|### ⚙️ Inference Engine Updates\n30|\n31|SGLang v0.5.12 (May 16) + v0.5.12.post1 (May 26):\n32|- DeepSeek V4 full support — Parallelism: TP/EP/CP/Data Parallel Attention\n33|- Hardware support: Nvidia B300/B200/H200/H100/GB200/GB300, AMD MI35X\n34|- HiSparse — Offloads inactive KV cache to CPU memory, extending context length\n35|- post1 patch — 12 stability fixes, primarily for DeepSeek V4 on B200/B300\n36|- SGLang v0.5.12 on GitHub\n37|- SGLang v0.5.12.post1 on GitHub\n38|- SGLang on GitHub\n39|\n40|vLLM v0.21.0 (May 15):\n41|- Transformers v4 deprecated — Migrate to transformers v5 (367 commits from 202 contributors)\n42|- C++20 build requirement — Breaking build change for PyTorch compatibility\n43|- KV Offloading — Improves context length for constrained VRAM\n44|- v0.20.2 also fixed DeepSeek V4 sparse attention and gpt-oss/Qwen3-VL bugs\n45|- vLLM v0.21.0 on GitHub\n46|- vLLM v0.20.2 on GitHub\n47|- vLLM on GitHub\n48|\n49|Ollama v0.30.0-rc29 (May 13):\n50|- Major architecture change — Now directly supports llama.cpp instead of building on GGML\n51|- MLX acceleration for Apple Silicon model inference\n52|- GGUF file format compatibility maintained\n53|- Ollama v0.30.0-rc29 on GitHub\n54|\n55|Ollama v0.24.0 (May 14):\n56|- Codex App support — ollama launch codex-app for OpenAI's desktop Codex experience\n57|- Parallel worktree support and git functionality\n58|- Ollama v0.24.0 on GitHub\n59|\n60|llama.cpp b9388 (May 29):\n61|- MMVQ optimization for Turing GPUs (SM75)\n62|- CUDA batch>=4 quantized matmul routing to MMQ on AMD MFMA hardware\n63|- Daily release cycle continues — current build is b9388\n64|- llama.cpp on GitHub\n65|- llama.cpp Releases\n66|\n67|### 📊 Worth Noting\n68|\n69|MoE models are the efficiency play for 2026:\n70|Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (35B total, 3B active) and Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (397B total, 17B active) demonstrate that sparse MoE architectures are becoming practical for consumer hardware. The 35B-A3B fits in ~8GB VRAM at Q4 while delivering quality approaching its dense 27B sibling.\n71|- MoE Architecture Paper\n72|\n73|DeepSeek V4 ecosystem maturing:\n74|Both SGLang and vLLM now support DeepSeek V4, with vLLM v0.20.2 fixing sparse attention issues and SGLang v0.5.12 adding full parallelism support across Nvidia's latest hardware and AMD MI35X.\n75|- DeepSeek-V4-Pro on HuggingFace\n76|\n77|Ollama's re-architecture:\n78|The shift from GGML to direct llama.cpp integration (v0.30) suggests a cleaner separation of concerns. GGML becomes the file format layer, while llama.cpp handles the actual inference. This should improve compatibility and reduce maintenance burden.\n79|- Ollama v0.30 Architecture\n80|\n81|Build toolchain changes:\n82|vLLM's C++20 requirement and transformers v5 migration signal that the inference stack is modernizing. If your build environment is stuck on C++17 or transformers 4.x, update before upgrading to vLLM 0.21.\n83|- Transformers v5 Migration Guide\n84|\n85|---\n86|\n87|Data sourced from HuggingFace API, GitHub release feeds, and automated scanning.
