Any-to-Any models are an emerging class of multimodal models that accept combinations of multimodal data (e.g., text, image, video, audio) as input and generate them as output. Serving these models are challenging; different requests with different input and output modalities traverse different paths through the model computation graph, and each component of the model have different scaling characteristics. We present Cornserve, a distributed serving system for generic Any-to-Any models. Cornserve provides a flexible task abstraction for expressing Any-to-Any model computation graphs, enabling component disaggregation and independent scaling. The distributed runtime dispatches compute to the data plane via an efficient record-and-replay execution model that keeps track of data dependencies, and forwards tensor data between components directly from the producer to the consumer. Built on Kubernetes with approximately 23K new lines of Python, Cornserve supports diverse Any-to-Any models and delivers up to 3.81$\times$ higher throughput and 5.79$\times$ lower tail latency. Cornserve is open-source, and the demo video is available on YouTube.

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures scale large language models (LLMs) to hundreds of billions of parameters. Serving a single MoE model requires multiple GPUs operating in parallel, typically through tensor parallelism (TP) or expert parallelism (EP). The optimal choice depends on the number of in-flight requests: TP is faster at low concurrency, whereas EP wins at high concurrency. Production workloads cross this boundary continually: online serving sees bursty arrivals that subside into quiet periods, and reinforcement-learning rollouts begin as a high-concurrency burst that decays into a long tail of stragglers. Pinning either layout therefore forfeits performance when the workload crosses to the other side. We present Moebius, a serving system that switches between EP and TP at runtime without restarting the engine or dropping in-flight requests. Our key insight is that EP and TP are two layouts of one model, not two models: they compute the same function over byte-identical expert weights and KV cache, so a switch changes only which rank owns each slice. Moving those owner-changed slices is the sole irreducible cost, and modern high-bandwidth GPU interconnects make it fast enough to do between decode steps without draining in-flight requests. Moebius preserves each parallelism's runtime resident, and reshards the single copy of expert weights and KV cache at fixed addresses with fused GPU-to-GPU transfer kernels. On 8x H200 GPUs serving Qwen3-235B-A22B, Moebius matches the better static parallelism at every operating point, and beats it on RL rollouts by 1.16-1.25x across steps. Each switch completes in 215-434 ms, and Moebius holds both layouts resident with only 2.4% memory overhead.
