About

vLLM is a fast and easy-to-use library for LLM inference and serving.

vLLM is fast with:

• State-of-the-art serving throughput
• Efficient management of attention key and value memory with PagedAttention
• Continuous batching of incoming requests
• Fast model execution with CUDA/HIP graph
• Quantization: GPTQ, AWQ, SqueezeLLM, FP8 KV Cache
• Optimized CUDA kernels

vLLM is flexible and easy to use with:

• Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
• High-throughput serving with various decoding algorithms, including parallel sampling, beam search, and more
• Tensor parallelism support for distributed inference
• Streaming outputs
• OpenAI-compatible API server
• Support NVIDIA GPUs and AMD GPUs
• (Experimental) Prefix caching support
• (Experimental) Multi-lora support

vLLM seamlessly supports many Hugging Face models, including the following architectures:

• Aquila & Aquila2 (BAAI/AquilaChat2-7B, BAAI/AquilaChat2-34B, BAAI/Aquila-7B, BAAI/AquilaChat-7B, etc.)

Install vLLM with pip or from source:

pip install vllm

Getting Started

Visit our documentation to get started.

• Installation
• Quickstart
• Supported Models

Build from source AMD rocm

Install flash attention from source

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/flash-attention.git
cd flash-attention
python setup.py install

Apply patch to torch for building composable kernel

If you are using rocm5.7 with pytorch 2.1.0 onwards, you don't need to apply this patch

PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES=$(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')
echo "Patching ${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/torch/utils/hipify/hipify_python.py"
patch "${PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES}/torch/utils/hipify/hipify_python.py" hipify_patch.patch

Check and install triton

If you are using ptca docker image, and there's no triton installed, you need to uninstall pytorch-triton-rocm, and install triton

pip uninstall pytorch-triton-rocm

git clone https://github.com/ROCm/triton.git
cd triton/python
python setup.py install

Install xformers without dependency, and apply patch

pip install xformers==0.0.23 --no-deps
cd vllm
bash patch_xformers.rocm.sh

Install vllm

cd vllm
pip install -U -r requirements-rocm.txt
python setup.py install
