Overview
Research summary
vLLM runs compatible language and multimodal model weights for offline inference and network serving. It focuses on serving efficiency through PagedAttention, continuous batching, and execution features such as parallelism, quantization, and optimized kernels. Developers can use Python interfaces or deploy an OpenAI-compatible API server, making it useful behind existing model clients and agent applications.
Supported models, hardware, and features vary with release and configuration. The engine is Apache-2.0 software; the weights loaded into it keep their own licenses. vLLM is an inference runtime rather than a model family or end-user chat application.
