High-throughput LLM serving engine

vLLM is an Apache-2.0 LLM inference and serving engine focused on high-throughput self-hosted model APIs. It combines PagedAttention, continuous batching, prefix caching, quantization options, OpenAI-compatible serving, structured outputs, metrics, Docker/Kubernetes deployment guidance and integrations with agent and LLM frameworks.

NVIDIA's LLM inference optimization and acceleration library

TensorRT-LLM is NVIDIA's open-source library for optimizing LLM inference on NVIDIA GPUs. It provides kernel fusion, quantization (FP8, INT4, INT8), KV cache optimization, and in-flight batching to maximize throughput. Supports multi-GPU and multi-node setups with tensor and pipeline parallelism, and integrates with Triton Inference Server for production deployment of models like LLaMA, GPT, Mistral, and Qwen.

Hugging Face's production LLM serving framework

Text Generation Inference (TGI) is Hugging Face's production-ready serving framework for large language models. It features flash attention, continuous batching, tensor parallelism, quantization via GPTQ/AWQ/EETQ, and Safetensors support. Powers Hugging Face's Inference API and Inference Endpoints, with an OpenAI-compatible API and Docker deployment. Supports LLaMA, Mistral, Falcon, and other popular model architectures.

Kubernetes-native distributed LLM inference stack

llm-d is an open-source Kubernetes-native stack for distributed LLM inference with cache-aware routing and disaggregated serving. It separates prefill and decode stages across different GPU pools for optimal resource utilization, routes requests to nodes with warm KV caches, and integrates with vLLM as the serving engine. Apache-2.0 licensed with 2,900+ GitHub stars.

Heterogeneous CPU-GPU inference and SFT for large MoE models

Open-source framework for running and fine-tuning large Mixture-of-Experts models with heterogeneous CPU-GPU execution, optimized kernels, limited VRAM and SGLang or LLaMA-Factory integrations.

Official Kubernetes and Helm reference stack built on the vLLM inference engine

Official vLLM reference implementation for scaling the existing inference engine on Kubernetes with Helm, request routing, KV-cache offload, autoscaling and Prometheus/Grafana observability.

Distributed inference orchestration above vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT-LLM

Open-source, datacenter-scale orchestration layer that coordinates vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT-LLM across nodes with disaggregated serving, KV-aware routing, multi-tier cache management and automatic scaling.

Open-source GPU control plane for scalable AI model serving

Open-source GPU cluster manager that configures vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM or custom engines, serves models through compatible APIs, and provisions SSH-accessible GPU instances across on-premises, Kubernetes and cloud environments.

Disaggregated KV cache storage and transfer for LLM serving

Open-source infrastructure for disaggregated LLM serving that pools KV caches across prefill and decode workers, with high-performance transfer, distributed storage and integrations for vLLM and SGLang.

Reusable KV cache infrastructure for scalable LLM inference

Open-source KV cache management layer that persists, offloads and reuses model key-value caches across requests and serving engines to reduce repeated prefill work and improve inference throughput.
