[2024/10] We have just created a developer slack (slack.vllm.ai) focusing on coordinating contributions and discussing features. Please feel free to join us there!
[2024/10] Ray Summit 2024 held a special track for vLLM! Please find the opening talk slides from the vLLM team here. Learn more from the talks from other vLLM contributors and users!
[2024/07] In partnership with Meta, vLLM officially supports Llama 3.1 with FP8 quantization and pipeline parallelism! Please check out our blog post here.
[2024/06] We hosted the fourth vLLM meetup with Cloudflare and BentoML! Please find the meetup slides here.
[2023/08] We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) for providing a generous grant to support the open-source development and research of vLLM.
Optimized CUDA kernels, including integration with FlashAttention and FlashInfer.
Speculative decoding
Chunked prefill
Performance benchmark: We include a performance benchmark at the end of our blog post. It compares the performance of vLLM against other LLM serving engines (TensorRT-LLM, SGLang and LMDeploy). The implementation is under nightly-benchmarks folder and you can reproduce this benchmark using our one-click runnable script.
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 and pipeline parallelism support for distributed inference
Streaming outputs
OpenAI-compatible API server
Support NVIDIA GPUs, AMD CPUs and GPUs, Intel CPUs and GPUs, PowerPC CPUs, TPU, and AWS Neuron.
Prefix caching support
Multi-lora support
vLLM seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:
We welcome and value any contributions and collaborations.
Please check out CONTRIBUTING.md for how to get involved.
