ARSAT’s mission is to connect Argentinians to the world. But doing so means building out and managing data centers, satellites, and thousands of kilometres of fiber optics cables. When faced with diverging departments, ARSAT turned to Red Hat to consolidate their operations with OpenShift and OpenShift AI.

Welcome to vLLM office hours! These bi-weekly sessions are your chance to stay current with the vLLM ecosystem, ask questions, and hear directly from contributors and power users.
This weeks special topic: GuideLLM v0.7.0: Benchmarking Reasoning, Tool Calling, and Agentic Traces.
vLLM project update from core maintainer Michael Goin, covering the v0.27 release plus day-zero support for Qwen3.8, decode context parallelism, and adaptive verification for speculative decoding.
Lightning topic 1: Running Codex and Claude Code CLIs with vLLM and open models, with Francisco Javier Arceo (Red Hat AI) and Tun Jian Tan (Embedded LLM). A look at the Agentic API project, which keeps stateful logic outside vLLM so the inference engine stays stateless, plus a live demo of server-side web search.
Lightning topic 2: Speculators update from maintainer Rahul Tuli, covering the v0.6.0 and v0.7.0 releases, new algorithms including P-EAGLE and DSpark, MTP fine-tuning, and a config-file-first training CLI.
Then our special topic, with Samuel Monson and Jared OConnell (Red Hat AI): what performance benchmarking actually measures, how GuideLLM simulates realistic request patterns, and how the tool is evolving to handle multi-turn conversations, tool calling, sub-agents, and trace replay.
