vLLM Meetup Singapore
vLLM Meetup Singapore: Where the World’s Leading Open-Source AI Inference Engine Meets Asia’s Builders
vLLM is the open-source engine behind much of today’s large-scale AI serving. It was born at UC Berkeley, is now hosted under the PyTorch Foundation, and is used from frontier labs to hyperscalers to fast-growing startups. It supports hundreds of model architectures and runs on a wide range of accelerators.
We are bringing the vLLM community to Singapore for a half-day technical meetup!
What attendees will experience:
At this meetup, engineers from Inferact (founded by vLLM’s creators and core maintainers) and NVIDIA will share what they’re building right now, from high-throughput prefill and RL training to running vLLM on workstation-class Blackwell GPUs and NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform. They’ll be joined by Alibaba Cloud, who will bring a full-stack view spanning models, training, inference, and model-as-a-service. The event is hosted at SQ Collective, a Singapore co-working space for AI founders and builders. If you build, deploy, or research LLM systems, this is a rare chance to hear from the people shaping the engine and to talk with them in person.

About SQ Collective
SQ Collective is a co-working space in Singapore for founders and builders working with AI. Fridays are open co-working days, with a short shared session called The Stage at 1.30pm. People come to work, learn something practical, and go back to building.
