-## 🎯 Overview
+---
 
-Traditional vLLM systems are limited to text-based, autoregressive generation. vLLM-omni addresses this limitation by enabling support for:
+*Latest News* 🔥
 
-- **Multi-modal Models**: Text, image, video, audio, and sensor data processing
-- **Non-autoregressive Architectures**: Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and other parallel generation models
-- **Heterogeneous Outputs**: Beyond traditional text generation to multimodal outputs
+- [2025/11] vLLM community officially released [vllm-project/vllm-omni](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni) in order to support omni-modality models serving.
 
-## 🏗️ Architecture
+---
 
-vLLM-omni is built on a modular architecture that extends vLLM's core functionality:
+## About
 
+[vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) was originally designed to support large language models for text-based autoregressive generation tasks. vLLM-Omni extends its support for omni-modality model inference and serving:
 
-## 🚀 Key Features
+- **Omni-modality**: Text, image, video, and audio data processing
+- **Non-autoregressive Architectures**: extend the AR support of vLLM to Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and other parallel generation models
+- **Heterogeneous outputs**: from traditional text generation to multimodal outputs
 
-### Multi-Engine Support

+</p>
 
-- **Autoregressive Engine**: Traditional text generation with enhanced KV-caching
-- **Diffusion Engine**: Support for DiT models and iterative generation
-- **Hybrid Engine**: Combined AR+DiT processing pipelines
+vLLM-omni is fast with:
 
-### Modality Processing
+- Seamless AR support for efficient KV Cache management with vLLM
+- Pipelined stage execution overlapping
+- Fully disaggregation based on omniConnector and dynamic resource allocation across stages
 
-- **Text**: Advanced tokenization and embedding generation
-- **Image**: Vision encoder integration (CLIP, etc.)
-- **Audio**: Speech processing and audio embedding
+vLLM-omni is flexible and easy to use with:
 
-## 📋 Supported Models
+- Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
+- High-throughput serving with various decoding algorithms, including *parallel sampling*, *beam search*, and more
+- Tensor, pipeline, data and expert parallelism support for distributed inference
+- Streaming outputs
+- OpenAI-compatible API server
 
-### AR + Diffusion Transformer (DiT) Models
-- Qwen-omni (Thinker-Talker-Codec structure)
-- HunyunaImage 3.0 (Ongoing)
-- Qwen-Image (Ongoing)
+vLLM seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:
+
+- Multi-modality generation models (e.g. Qwen-image)
+- Omni-modality models (e.g. Qwen-omni)
