June 2026 performance snapshot: Delivered core platform enhancements across mistralai/llm-d-inference-scheduler-public and llm-d/llm-d that improved reliability, throughput, and deployment flexibility. Key features include batched request support via unified InferenceRequestBody, a match-based parser routing framework with defaults for OpenAI/Anthropic/VLLMHTTP, and token counting API for the Anthropic parser. Prefix-cache estimator updates extend to text and multimodal content for more accurate length estimation, while Helm chart support enables configurable gRPC health checks. Documentation updates were completed for EPP HTTP and gRPC APIs to accelerate developer adoption. Major bugs fixed include safe handling of skipped requests (non-nil RawPayload requirement) and parser state rename for clarity, preventing panics and improving maintainability. Overall impact: higher throughput, reduced error-prone routing, better cost visibility, and more flexible, observable deployments. Technologies demonstrated: Go refactoring, API design, parser architecture, config-driven tooling, unit testing, and multi-repo coordination.
