Hoid Runtime 0.4: continuous batching, disaggregated prefill, and a scheduler you can read

The runtime is 11k lines with no vendor SDK in the hot path.

Pavle Padjin, Vladimir Zeljkovic

0.4 is the release where the scheduler stopped being an implementation detail.

What’s new

Continuous batching now admits and retires sequences without a barrier, and prefill can be disaggregated onto separate workers so a long prompt no longer stalls everyone’s decode.

Why you can read it

The whole runtime is about 11k lines, and no vendor SDK sits in the hot path. That is a deliberate constraint: when the scheduler makes a decision you did not expect, you should be able to find the line that made it.

Be there when
the next world opens.
