    Heaps do lie: investigating a memory leak in vLLM

    The Mistral AI team investigated a memory leak in vLLM. In a Mistral Medium 3.1 deployment with graph compilation and disaggregated prefill/decode, system memory grew linearly by 400 MB per minute until the process ran out of memory hours later. Heaptrack showed stable heap usage, indicating the leak was outside the heap. The team traced it to KV-cache transfers through NIXL and UCX.
