Distributed LLM Inference on Kubernetes with llm-d, Wasm, & TornadoVM

In this episode, Edoardo Vacchi discusses the evolving landscape of WebAssembly on the backend, running Java workloads on GPUs using TornadoVM, and optimizing distributed AI inference using llm-d and vLLM on Kubernetes. Edoardo explains how llm-d manages cache locality (KV and prefix caches), request routing, and batch inference across Kubernetes clusters to maximize expensive GPU utilization.
