Overview

vLLM Kunlun (vllm-kunlun) is a community-maintained hardware plugin designed to seamlessly run vLLM on the Kunlun XPU. It is the recommended approach for integrating the Kunlun backend within the vLLM community, adhering to the principles outlined in the RFC Hardware Pluggable.

This plugin provides a hardware-pluggable interface that decouples the integration of the Kunlun XPU with vLLM. By utilizing vLLM Kunlun, popular open-source models — including Transformer-like, Mixture-of-Expert (MoE), Embedding, and Multi-modal LLMs — can run effortlessly on the Kunlun XPU.

✨ Key Features

• Seamless Plugin Integration — Works as a standard vLLM platform plugin via Python entry points, no need to modify vLLM source code
• Broad Model Support — Supports 15+ mainstream LLMs including Qwen, Llama, DeepSeek, Kimi-K2, and multimodal models
• Quantization Support — INT8 and other quantization methods for MoE and dense models
• LoRA Fine-Tuning — LoRA adapter support for Qwen series models
• Piecewise Kunlun Graph — Hardware-accelerated graph optimization for high-performance inference
• FlashMLA Attention — Optimized multi-head latent attention for DeepSeek MLA architectures
• Tensor Parallelism — Multi-device parallel inference with distributed execution support
• OpenAI-Compatible API — Serve models with the standard OpenAI API interface
