vllm: A Python repository from joerunde

Easy, fast, and cheap LLM serving for everyone

Ray Summit CPF is Open (June 4th to June 20th)!

There will be a track for vLLM at the Ray Summit (09/30-10/02, SF) this year! If you have cool projects related to vLLM or LLM inference, we would love to see your proposals. This will be a great chance for everyone in the community to get together and learn. Please submit your proposal here

About

vLLM is a fast and easy-to-use library for LLM inference and serving.

vLLM is fast with:

State-of-the-art serving throughput
Efficient management of attention key and value memory with PagedAttention
Continuous batching of incoming requests
Fast model execution with CUDA/HIP graph
Quantization: GPTQ, AWQ, SqueezeLLM, FP8 KV Cache
Optimized CUDA kernels

vLLM is flexible and easy to use with:

Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
High-throughput serving with various decoding algorithms, including parallel sampling, beam search, and more
Tensor parallelism support for distributed inference
Streaming outputs
OpenAI-compatible API server
Support NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and Intel CPUs
(Experimental) Prefix caching support
(Experimental) Multi-lora support

vLLM seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:

Transformer-like LLMs (e.g., Llama)
Mixture-of-Expert LLMs (e.g., Mixtral)
Multi-modal LLMs (e.g., LLaVA)

Find the full list of supported models here.
