What problem does it solve?

vLLM enables production-grade, high-throughput LLM serving with OpenAI API compatibility and quantization options, simplifying scalable inference for large models.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • High-throughput LLM serving using PagedAttention and continuous batching.
  • OpenAI-compatible endpoints and easy integration with OpenAI SDKs.
  • Quantization options (AWQ, GPTQ, FP8) to fit hardware and reduce costs.
  • Production-ready deployment patterns with Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring.
  • Real-world use: deploy a 70B model behind an OpenAI-compatible API for multi-user workloads.

Quick Start

Start a vLLM server with your model to enable OpenAI-compatible requests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I serve LLMs in production with an OpenAI-compatible API?▼

You can serve LLMs in production using vLLM to deploy OpenAI-compatible endpoints, enabling high-throughput inference and seamless integration with existing OpenAI SDKs for large-scale model workloads.

What is the best way to deploy a 70B LLM for multi-user workloads?▼

Deploying a 70B LLM for multi-user workloads is best handled with vLLM using PagedAttention, continuous batching, and multi-GPU tensor parallelism to ensure high-throughput production serving.

How does vLLM achieve high-throughput LLM serving?▼

vLLM achieves high-throughput LLM serving through PagedAttention and continuous batching, processing multiple concurrent requests efficiently to maximize GPU utilization during inference.

Can I reduce LLM serving costs using quantization with vLLM?▼

Yes, you can reduce LLM serving costs and fit large models on limited hardware by applying quantization options like AWQ, GPTQ, or FP8 within your vLLM deployment configuration.

Do I need CUDA-enabled GPUs to run vLLM for LLM serving?▼

Yes, a working vLLM setup requires CUDA-enabled GPUs to run LLM serving, as the framework relies on GPU hardware for tensor parallelism and high-throughput inference processing.

Can I deploy vLLM using Docker and Kubernetes for production monitoring?▼

Yes, vLLM supports production-ready deployment patterns using Docker and Kubernetes, allowing you to configure scalable infrastructure and integrate production-grade monitoring for your LLM endpoints.
