vLLM pooling requests can now finish at full context
By OnTheRice · Sources and limitations · Report a correction
The scheduler reserved a sampled-token slot for embedding requests that never sample, so a final full-context chunk could remain permanently unscheduled. The slot is no longer required.
Source confidenceNot assessed
What’s changing?
Pooling requests are budgeted only for prompt tokens, matching their actual work.
Key points
- The scheduler reserved a sampled-token slot for embedding requests that never sample, so a final full-context chunk could remain permanently unscheduled. The slot is no longer required.
What could change this view?
- Evidence is one focused scheduler test, not full serving under load.
Bottom line
The scheduler reserved a sampled-token slot for embedding requests that never sample, so a final full-context chunk could remain permanently unscheduled. The slot is no longer required.
Its source facts and prices still need independent checks.
