Collectively, these efforts increased training throughput, reduced runtime variance, and improved maintainability across the repository.

November 2025 monthly summary for kvcache-ai/sglang. Key focus was delivering GPU-optimized inference via piecewise CUDA graph execution for the gpt-oss model, with groundwork laid for broader graph-based execution across models. No major bugs fixed this period.

Month 2025-10 performance and integration summary: Delivered end-to-end Torch Compile integration with Piecewise CUDA Graphs in SGLang, including memory sizing refactor, new torch_compile parameter, and a redesigned compilation backend path to support graph splitting, compilation, and CUDA graph execution. Introduced an eager compiler option to switch between the existing inductor and a new eager adapter, with updates to make_compiler and config/manager to support it, and consolidated compilation logic under a new structure for easier maintenance. Also delivered a KV cache transfer kernel to enable SGLang-LMCache interoperability with tensor parallelism optimizations and updated adapters for LMCache integration. These changes improve throughput, reduce memory footprint, and streamline deployment for large-scale inference workloads.

September 2025: Delivered LMCache hierarchical cache integration in the SGLang engine. Introduced layer-wise LMCache support in memory pool logic, expanded the scheduler to conditionally enable LMCache, and added new integration files to enable scalable KV-cache management. This work reduces cache contention, optimizes memory utilization, and establishes groundwork for faster, more predictable latency in cache-heavy workloads.

Month 2025-08: Delivered Layer-wise SGLang integration in LMCache/LMCache, enabling layer-wise KV cache operations and improving efficiency and compatibility. Refactored the SGLang adapter for layer-wise data transfer, updated configuration, introduced new connector classes, and tuned the cache engine to support layer-wise data handling. These changes reduce latency in multi-layer workloads and improve interoperability with evolving graphs/ML pipelines, enabling scalable, low-latency caching in production.
