FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a production LLM API with high throughput?

Deploy a production LLM API with high throughput by provisioning an OpenAI-compatible endpoint using vLLM. This serving framework applies PagedAttention and continuous batching to deliver low latency inference for production workloads.

What is PagedAttention and continuous batching for LLM serving?

PagedAttention and continuous batching are vLLM memory management techniques that maximize throughput during LLM serving. They optimize KV cache allocation to process concurrent requests efficiently, reducing latency for production-grade API endpoints.

Can I use quantization like GPTQ or AWQ for memory-constrained LLM hosting?

Yes, you can use GPTQ, AWQ, or FP8 quantization for memory-constrained LLM hosting. These options compress model weights within vLLM serving, reducing memory footprint while maintaining high throughput for production APIs.

Does vLLM support tensor parallelism for multi-GPU production inference?

Yes, vLLM supports tensor parallelism for multi-GPU production inference. Tensor parallelism splits model layers across multiple GPUs to scale capacity, ensuring high throughput and low latency for large language models in data center environments.

What's the best way to expose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for an on-prem LLM?

The best way to expose an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for an on-prem LLM is deploying vLLM. It provisions a production-grade API server with PagedAttention, applying continuous batching and optional quantization for optimized on-premises hosting.
