FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a high-throughput LLM serving endpoint?▼

To deploy high-throughput LLM serving, you can use vLLM to expose an OpenAI-compatible API, applying PagedAttention and continuous batching for scalable, low-latency inference in multi-user environments.

What is the best way to serve large language models across multiple GPUs?▼

Serving large language models across multiple GPUs is best handled using vLLM's tensor parallelism, which splits model execution to support large deployments while maximizing throughput.

How do I set up an OpenAI-compatible API for inference?▼

You can set up an OpenAI-compatible API for inference by launching a vLLM server, which natively exposes a REST API endpoint compatible with OpenAI client libraries for your large language models.

Can I use quantization methods like AWQ or FP8 for LLM serving?▼

Yes, you can use quantization methods like AWQ, GPTQ, and FP8 for LLM serving with vLLM to reduce memory usage and increase throughput during deployment.

Do I need torch and transformers to run a vLLM server?▼

Yes, you need dependencies such as torch and transformers installed in your environment to run a vLLM server and execute production-grade inference workflows.
