NVIDIA vLLM supports DeepSeekv4.1 Flash on release; AMD vLLM lags

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

NVIDIA's vLLM software is functioning seamlessly with the new DeepSeekv4.1 Flash model across all six of its hardware SKUs, including H100, H200, B200, B300, GB200, and GB300. In contrast, AMD's vLLM implementation is experiencing issues and has not yet been publicly released for the DeepSeekv4.1 Flash model, despite AMD's emphasis on speed. This disparity highlights a difference in immediate software support for the latest AI models between the two hardware manufacturers. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical role of software ecosystem support for new AI model releases, potentially influencing hardware purchasing decisions.
