What it does

vllm.cpp is a C++ engine that enables the creation of a community-oriented, 1:1, vLLM-alike model with continuous batching and paged KV storage, allowing for efficient and scalable AI model development

When to use it
  • Building a custom AI model that requires continuous batching and paged KV storage
  • Developing a community-driven AI project that needs a scalable and efficient engine
  • Creating an AI application that requires a high degree of customization and control over the underlying model
Ready-to-paste prompt
./vllm --model example_model --prompt 'What is the meaning of life?'
Heads up: The project requires a C++ compiler (e.g. GCC) and CMake to be installed on the system, and the `config.toml` file needs to be properly configured before running the model
