vLLM is an open-source library and serving stack for large language model (LLM) inference. Its objective is to turn a trained model into a production service that sustains many concurrent users with low latency and high tokens per second per GPU. vLLM targets the inference phase (prefill + decode), not training: it loads weights onto accelerators, batches incoming prompts, schedules decode steps, and streams completions back to clients over HTTP/gRPC (often via an OpenAI-compatible API). It has become a de facto engine behind many private and cloud AI gateways because it ships integrations for Hugging Face models, LoRA adapters, tensor parallelism, pipeline parallelism, speculative decoding, and quantization (GPTQ, AWQ, FP8).
