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
• 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 CUDA and AMD ROCm.

vLLM seamlessly supports many Hugging Face models, including the following architectures:

• Aquila & Aquila2 (BAAI/AquilaChat2-7B, BAAI/AquilaChat2-34B, BAAI/Aquila-7B, BAAI/AquilaChat-7B, etc.)
• Baichuan & Baichuan2 (baichuan-inc/Baichuan2-13B-Chat, baichuan-inc/Baichuan-7B, etc.)
• BLOOM (bigscience/bloom, bigscience/bloomz, etc.)
• ChatGLM (THUDM/chatglm2-6b, THUDM/chatglm3-6b, etc.)
• Falcon (tiiuae/falcon-7b, tiiuae/falcon-40b, tiiuae/falcon-rw-7b, etc.)
• GPT-2 (gpt2, gpt2-xl, etc.)
• GPT BigCode (bigcode/starcoder, bigcode/gpt_bigcode-santacoder, etc.)
• GPT-J (EleutherAI/gpt-j-6b, nomic-ai/gpt4all-j, etc.)
• GPT-NeoX (EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b, databricks/dolly-v2-12b, stabilityai/stablelm-tuned-alpha-7b, etc.)
• InternLM (internlm/internlm-7b, internlm/internlm-chat-7b, etc.)
• LLaMA & LLaMA-2 (meta-llama/Llama-2-70b-hf, lmsys/vicuna-13b-v1.3, young-geng/koala, openlm-research/open_llama_13b, etc.)
• Mistral (mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1, mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1, etc.)
• Mixtral (mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1, mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1, etc.)
• MPT (mosaicml/mpt-7b, mosaicml/mpt-30b, etc.)
• OPT (facebook/opt-66b, facebook/opt-iml-max-30b, etc.)
• Phi-1.5 (microsoft/phi-1_5, etc.)
