February 2026 monthly summary for jeejeelee/vllm. Key features delivered include ModelRunner V2 improvements with performance/readability optimizations and the introduction of structured outputs support in the spec decoding process. Major bug fixes include correcting token scheduling in prefill by ignoring draft tokens until prefill completes, eliminating incorrect speculative token scheduling. Impact: improved runtime efficiency and reliability of ModelRunner V2, more predictable decoding outputs, and reduced token-scheduling edge cases in chunked prefill. Technologies demonstrated: performance optimization, readability-focused code improvements, structured data handling, robust prefill/token scheduling logic, and disciplined commit/sign-off practices.
