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 and AMD GPUs
• (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)
