Edge computing has existed far longer than many realize, tracing back to point-of-sale systems running Linux over 26 years ago. However, the proliferation of 5G networks and the mass adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have transformed it into a cornerstone of modern infrastructure.
In this episode of Compiler, we examine the physical and operational realities of the edge of the network. John Harris, who manages technology strategy at Panasonic Connect, joins the conversation to detail how rugged hardware like Toughbook laptops undergo strict validation tests for drop, shock, vibration, and extreme temperature chambers down to -30°C and up to 60°C.

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: Mooncake + vLLM/llm-d Deep Dive.
vLLM project update from core maintainer Michael Goin, covering the v0.26 release plus recent model support, performance work, and quantization updates.
Hackathon spotlight: Timothy and David present TickyTalky, a winning project from the Austin Red Hat and NVIDIA vLLM hackathon, built on DeepSeek V4 Flash running on a DGX Spark.
Then the main event, with Ke Yang and Christian Angelo Velarde (Approaching.AI) and Greg Pereira (Red Hat AI). Mooncake began as the inference architecture behind Kimi and has grown into communication and storage infrastructure for large-scale LLM serving. We cover how it integrates with vLLM for PD disaggregation and cluster-wide KV cache reuse, and how llm-d wraps these pieces for distributed serving on Kubernetes.
