VibeServe: Can AI Agents Build Bespoke LLM Serving Systems?
For years, we have built LLM serving systems like any other critical infrastructure: a single general-purpose stack, hand-tuned over many engineer-years, meant to support every model and workload. In this paper, we take the opposite bet: a multi-agent loop that automatically synthesizes bespoke serving systems for different usage scenarios. We propose VibeServe, the first agentic loop that generates entire LLM serving stacks end-to-end. VibeServe uses an outer loop to plan and track the search over system designs, and an inner loop to implement candidates, check correctness, and measure performance on the target benchmark. In the standard deployment setting, where existing stacks are highly optimized, VibeServe remains competitive with vLLM, showing that generation-time specialization need not come at the cost of performance. More interestingly, in non-standard scenarios, VibeServe outperforms existing systems by exploiting opportunities that generic systems miss in six scenarios involving non-standard model architectures, workload knowledge, and hardware-specific optimizations. Together, these results suggest a different point in the design space for infrastructure software: generation-time specialization rather than runtime generality.

VoxServe: Streaming-Centric Serving System for Speech Language Models
Deploying modern Speech Language Models (SpeechLMs) in streaming settings requires systems that provide low latency, high throughput, and strong guarantees of streamability. Existing systems fall short of supporting diverse models flexibly and efficiently. We present VoxServe, a unified serving system for SpeechLMs that optimizes streaming performance. VoxServe introduces a model-execution abstraction that decouples model architecture from system-level optimizations, thereby enabling support for diverse SpeechLM architectures within a single framework. Building on this abstraction, VoxServe implements streaming-aware scheduling and an asynchronous inference pipeline to improve end-to-end efficiency. Evaluations across multiple modern SpeechLMs show that VoxServe achieves 10-20x higher throughput than existing implementations at comparable latency while maintaining high streaming viability.
