NVIDIA Dynamo 1.5.0 adds custom worker-selection policies and deprecates KVBM

NVIDIA published Dynamo v1.5.0, a feature release of its open-source distributed inference platform, on GitHub on September 21, 2026. The release notes say worker selection in Dynamo Router is now pluggable through custom scoring and picking policies, and that KV indexing extends to Mooncake and disk tiers. KVBM is deprecated, with removal targeted for v1.7.0. On Kubernetes, nvidia.com/v1beta1 becomes the CRD storage version, the Rust Endpoint Picker replaces the Go version, and Dynamo Snapshot moves to a standalone operator. The notes list SGLang v0.5.18, TensorRT-LLM v1.3.0rc25 and vLLM v0.28.0 as the engine versions. USASI has not tested this release.1
