A lightweight vLLM implementation built from scratch.
- 🚀 Fase offline inference - Comparable inference speeds to vLLM
- 📖 Readable codebase - Clean implementation under 1,200 lines of Python code
- ⚡ Optimization Suite - Prefix caching, Torch compilation, CUDA graph, etc
pip install git+https://github.com/GeeeekExplorer/nano-vllm.gitSee example.py for usage. The API mirrors vLLM's interface with minor differences in the LLM.generate method.
See bench.py for benchmark.
Test Configuration:
