what about the lastest news that VLLM support for Mindie
vLLM has introduced an Ascend NPU backend, and there is mention of an “Ascend MindIE Backend” as part of the roadmap for supporting Ascend hardware. However, as of the latest updates, the MindIE backend is not yet ready, and current users are advised to use the Ascend SingleOps backend, which does not require MindIE. MindIE support is planned but not available for general use at this time according to project maintainers and contributors in recent discussions and documentation updates. For the latest status and code, see the vllm-ascend repository and related discussions[^1^][^2^].
Would you like more detail on how to use the Ascend backend or updates on MindIE integration?
