[vLLM Office Hours #42] Deep Dive Into the vLLM CPU Offloading Connector – January 29, 2026

Welcome to vLLM office hours! These bi-weekly sessions are your chance to stay current with the vLLM ecosystem, ask questions, and hear directly from contributors and power users.

This week’s special topic: Deep Dive Into the vLLM CPU Offloading Connector

We will start with our regular bi-weekly vLLM project update from core committer Michael Goin, then shift into a focused session on the vLLM CPU Offloading Connector with the IBM Research team. We’ll cover real-world use cases, walk through a QuickStart, dive deeper into how CPU offloading works in practice, and close with planning guidance and next steps for teams looking to adopt it in production.
