WeDLM in Practice: How to Deploy a Causal-Attention Diffusion LM That Outruns vLLM Without New Kernels TL;DR: WeDLM keeps causal attention, reorders tokens so masked positions still see all observed context, and commits tokens left-to-right as soon as they are predicted. The result is the first diffusion-style language model that beats a production vLLM baseline in wall-clock time while preserving (and sometimes improving) accuracy. This post explains why it works, how to run it, and what to watch when you ship it. What exact problem does WeDLM solve? Question answered: “Why do most diffusion language models feel fast in papers …

Achieving Reliable Tool Calling with Kimi K2 on vLLM: A Comprehensive Debugging Guide If you’ve been working with large language models, you know how exciting agentic workflows can be. The ability for models to call tools reliably opens up possibilities for complex applications, from automated research to advanced coding assistants. Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2 series stands out in this area, with impressive tool calling performance. Naturally, many developers want to run it on high-performance open-source inference engines like vLLM. When I first tried deploying Kimi K2 on vLLM and running the official K2-Vendor-Verifier benchmark, the results were disappointing. The tool …
