Elastic Expert Parallelism in vLLM

Elastic Expert Parallelism in vLLM lets you add or remove GPUs from an active Mixture-of-Experts deployment during traffic with minimal interruption to serving and minimal downtime.

At #PyTorchCon North America 2026, Itay Alroy of NVIDIA will present “Elastic Expert Parallelism in vLLM,” covering the architecture, key implementation details, open challenges, and future roadmap for Elastic EP.

Alroy will also examine what happens when EP size changes and how NIXL EP enables grow/shrink under live traffic.

How Machines Learned to Talk – OpenCV Live! 227

How Machines Learned to Talk - OpenCV Live! 227

Akshat Mandloi, co-founder of Smallest.ai, joins OpenCV Live to answer a question most of us have wondered on hold with customer service: why can you still tell it’s a bot?

His answer isn’t "the model’s too small." After three generations of voice AI, less than 1% of the voice market is automated, and Akshat argues the problem is structural. Today’s agents listen, then think, then speak. People do all three at once, and interrupt each other while they’re at it.

He’ll walk through how the field got here, from the old ASR-to-LLM-to-TTS pipeline to full-duplex models that can hear while they talk, and why measuring "does this sound human" is still harder than it looks. Then the good part: how Smallest.ai built a speech model that scores 96% on Big Bench Audio and an agent that holds its own against frontier models at about a twentieth of the size, and where they’re heading next with a model that predicts a conversation instead of reacting to it.
