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

LocalAI has a built-in integration with vLLM, and it can be used to run models. You can check out vllm performance here.

Setup

Create a YAML file for the model you want to use with vllm.

To setup a model, you need to just specify the model name in the YAML config file:

name: vllm
backend: vllm
parameters:
    model: "facebook/opt-125m"

# Decomment to specify a quantization method (optional)
# quantization: "awq"

The backend will automatically download the required files in order to run the model.

Usage

Use the completions endpoint by specifying the vllm backend:

curl http://localhost:8080/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{   
   "model": "vllm",
   "prompt": "Hello, my name is",
   "temperature": 0.1, "top_p": 0.1
 }'
