vLLM is an open-source inference and serving engine for large language models, originally developed at UC Berkeley's Sky Computing Lab. Its core innovation is PagedAttention, a memory-management technique for the KV cache, combined with continuous batching, enabling high throughput and memory-efficient model serving. The project supports over 200 HuggingFace model architectures, numerous quantization formats, and various hardware backends (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TPU, Trainium). vLLM is distributed as free open-source software under the Apache 2.0 license and can be self-hosted or run via an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server.
