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.
