LiteLLM has officially migrated to Rust! 🦀
AI Gateway receives an epic performance upgrade:
⚡ Single request overhead reduced by 150x (~0.05ms vs Python’s 7.5ms)
📈 Throughput increased by 15x
💾 Memory usage reduced by 11x (peak only 32MB)
📦 Single ~65MB binary with overhead <1ms
Keeps the exact same Python SDK, config.yaml, database, and 100+ LLMs

The Rust frontend for vLLM has been officially merged, offering a drop-in alternative to the Python API server with up to 5x throughput improvement on preprocess-heavy workloads.
I put together a Rust-native, CPU-only implementation of LFM2.5-8B-A1B
The author released a pure Rust, CPU-only inference implementation of the LFM2.5-8B-A1B model (4-bit Q4KM quantization), achieving a decode speed of approximately 37 tokens/s and memory usage around 7GB. The goal is to make LLMs runnable on cheap VPS or older machines. The implementation is open source and published as a cargo crate.
