Welcome to vLLM!#
Easy, fast, and cheap LLM serving for everyone
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 HuggingFace 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
