vLLM is a fast and easy-to-use library for LLM inference and serving.
Originally developed in the Sky Computing Lab at UC Berkeley, vLLM has evolved into a community-driven project with contributions from both academia and industry.
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
- Quantizations: GPTQ, AWQ, INT4, INT8, and FP8.
- Optimized CUDA kernels, including integration with FlashAttention and FlashInfer.
- Speculative decoding
- Chunked prefill
Performance benchmark: We include a performance benchmark at the end of our blog post. It compares the performance of vLLM against other LLM serving engines (TensorRT-LLM, SGLang and LMDeploy). The implementation is under nightly-benchmarks folder and you can reproduce this benchmark using our one-click runnable script.
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 and pipeline parallelism support for distributed inference
- Streaming outputs
- OpenAI-compatible API server
- Support NVIDIA GPUs, AMD CPUs and GPUs, Intel CPUs and GPUs, PowerPC CPUs, TPU, and AWS Neuron.
- Prefix caching support <<<<<<< HEAD
- Multi-lora support =======
- Multi-LoRA support
eca18691d2fe29c4f6c1b466709eda9f123116ea
vLLM seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:
- Transformer-like LLMs (e.g., Llama)
- Mixture-of-Expert LLMs (e.g., Mixtral, Deepseek-V2 and V3)
- Embedding Models (e.g. E5-Mistral)
- Multi-modal LLMs (e.g., LLaVA)
Find the full list of supported models here.
