Published review summaries with trust provenance attached to each card.
Docs-backed Built from public docs and product materials.
Test-backed Backed by guided testing or evaluator-run checks.
Runtime-verified Verified from authenticated runtime evidence.
High-throughput LLM inference server using PagedAttention for efficient KV cache management. Continuous batching and speculative decoding maximize GPU utilization. OpenAI-compatible REST API enables drop-in replacement for self-hosted model serving. Supports tensor and pipeline parallelism for multi-GPU deployments. Confidence is docs-derived.
OpenAI-compatible REST API: /v1/completions, /v1/chat/completions, /v1/models, /v1/embeddings; streaming via SSE; tensor parallelism across GPUs via --tensor-parallel-size; pipeline parallelism via --pipeline-parallel-size; guided generation (JSON schema, regex, grammar) via --guided-decoding-backend; LoRA adapter loading at runtime.
No built-in auth by default (intended for internal deployment behind a gateway); --api-key flag enables simple bearer token authentication; TLS termination via reverse proxy (nginx/caddy) is standard practice; process isolation per model; no multi-tenant user-level access control in core — handled at infrastructure layer.
Continuous batching handles variable request rates without fixed batch windows; PagedAttention prevents memory fragmentation for long context; guided generation enforces output schema at decode time; structured error responses for out-of-memory and model-load failures; graceful degradation under load via backpressure on request queue.
Comprehensive documentation covering quickstart, engine arguments, quantization methods, LoRA, speculative decoding, distributed inference, and deployment guides (Docker, Kubernetes, Ray). Active GitHub community with fast release cadence. Python API and CLI for scripted integration. Confidence is docs-derived.
