默认工作目录为 /workspace,vLLM 和 vLLM Ascend 代码位于 /vllm-workspace 目录下,并以 开发模式pip install -e)安装,以帮助开发者无需重新安装即可使修改立即生效。

使用方法#

您可以使用 ModelScope 镜像来加速下载:

export VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=True

在昇腾 NPU 上启动 vLLM 有两种方式:

安装 vLLM 后,您可以开始为输入提示列表生成文本(即离线批量推理)。

创建并运行一个简单的推理测试。example.py 内容如下:

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

prompts = [
    "Hello, my name is",
    "The future of AI is",
]
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
# The first run will take about 3-5 mins (10 MB/s) to download models
llm = LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B")

outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    prompt = output.prompt
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
    print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")

然后运行:

python example.py

如果遇到 Hugging Face 连接错误(例如 We couldn't connect to 'https://huggingface.co' to load the files, and couldn't find them in the cached files.),请运行以下命令使用 ModelScope 作为替代:

export VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=True
pip install modelscope
python example.py

以下部分显示 vllm 成功检测到昇腾平台:

INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:44] Available plugins for group vllm.platform_plugins:
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:46] - ascend -> vllm_ascend:register
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:49] All plugins in this group will be loaded. Set `VLLM_PLUGINS` to control which plugins to load.
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:238] Platform plugin ascend is activated

以下部分显示最终输出:

Prompt: 'Hello, my name is', Generated text: ' Lucy and I am an 8 year old who loves to draw and write stories'
Prompt: 'The president of the United States is', Generated text: " a key leader in the federal government, and the president's role in the executive"
Prompt: 'The capital of France is', Generated text: ' a city. What is the capital of France? The capital of France is Paris'
Prompt: 'The future of AI is', Generated text: ' a topic that is being discussed in various contexts. In the business world, AI'

以下部分显示离线推理后进程退出,不影响实际推理:

(EngineCore pid=970) INFO 05-12 11:36:00 [core.py:1201] Shutdown initiated (timeout=0)
(EngineCore pid=970) INFO 05-12 11:36:00 [core.py:1224] Shutdown complete
ERROR 05-12 11:36:01 [core_client.py:704] Engine core proc EngineCore died unexpectedly, shutting down client.
sys:1: DeprecationWarning: builtin type swigvarlink has no __module__ attribute

vLLM 也可以部署为实现 OpenAI API 协议的服务器。运行以下命令,使用 Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B 模型启动 vLLM 服务器:

# Deploy vLLM server (The first run will take about 3-5 mins (10 MB/s) to download models)
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B &

如果您看到如下日志:

INFO:     Started server process [3594]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

恭喜,您已成功启动 vLLM 服务器!

您可以查询模型列表:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/models | python3 -m json.tool

您也可以使用输入提示查询模型:

curl http://localhost:8000/v1/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B",
        "prompt": "Beijing is a",
        "max_completion_tokens": 5,
        "temperature": 0
    }' | python3 -m json.tool

vLLM 作为后台进程运行,您可以使用 kill -2 $VLLM_PID 优雅地停止后台进程,这类似于使用 Ctrl-C 停止前台 vLLM 进程:

  VLLM_PID=$(pgrep -f "vllm serve")
  kill -2 "$VLLM_PID"

输出如下:

INFO:     Shutting down FastAPI HTTP server.
INFO:     Shutting down
INFO:     Waiting for application shutdown.
INFO:     Application shutdown complete.

最后,您可以使用 ctrl-D 退出容器。
