Rebellions NPUs Get Official Support in llm-d Inference Framework

Oct 27, 2026
Rebellions NPUs are now officially supported in llm-d, the open-source framework for distributed LLM inference on Kubernetes.

South Korean chipmaker Rebellions said its NPUs are now officially supported in llm-d, the open-source framework for running distributed large language model inference on Kubernetes. According to the llm-d documentation, support comes through vllm-rbln, a vLLM platform plugin that ships in a public container image, so developers can add Rebellions NPUs to a standard vLLM setup without forking it.

Rebellions said the integration includes distributed inference features such as prefill/decode disaggregation. The llm-d reference setup serves OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b on two Rebellions NPUs, with devices allocated through Kubernetes dynamic resource allocation.
