vLLM says Vera Rubin tops GB200 7.8x; it's self-reported

vLLM, the open-source inference software, announces support for NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin, and reports more than 7.8x GB200's throughput on one agent workload. The official vLLM account writes: "The early results show more than 7.8x the throughput of GB200 on MiniMax M3 on AgentX." AgentX is an evaluation of agents (AIs that take actions themselves) from the research firm SemiAnalysis, and MiniMax M3 is a model from the Chinese company MiniMax (vLLM, 2026-10-09). The post compares throughput; we didn't find the level of comparison (a single GPU or a whole rack) or the test setup on the GB200 side, so it can't be read as a multiple of chip compute. These are early, self-reported results, best read as an upper bound.
