FAQPage Schema
How do I serve an LLM with an OpenAI-compatible API using vLLM?

vLLM deploys production-grade serving with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, enabling clients to query hosted LLMs like OpenAI. It covers hosting inference APIs, chat services, and batch processing for large models on memory-constrained GPUs.

Can I run large models on memory-constrained GPUs with vLLM?

Yes, you can run large models on memory-constrained GPUs with vLLM by applying quantization options like AWQ, GPTQ, or FP8. These techniques reduce the memory footprint required for high-throughput inference without needing larger hardware.

What is the best way to scale LLM inference across multiple GPUs?

The best way to scale LLM inference across multiple GPUs is using vLLM's tensor parallelism support. This approach distributes model tensors across available hardware to handle very large models that exceed single-GPU memory limits.

How does vLLM achieve high throughput for LLM serving?

vLLM achieves high throughput for LLM serving by utilizing PagedAttention and continuous batching. These mechanisms optimize memory allocation and dynamically manage incoming requests to maximize hardware utilization during inference.

Does vLLM support batch processing for large language models?

Yes, vLLM supports batch processing for large language models alongside hosting inference APIs and chat services. Continuous batching allows it to efficiently manage multiple simultaneous requests for production-grade serving.
