Yongye ZhuandClaude 29690bfa50 [Attention][TokenSpeed MLA] Address PR review: priorities, tests, benchmarks
- Insert TOKENSPEED_MLA into SM10 MLA priority list (behind FLASHINFER_MLA);
  supports_combination guards non-R1 / non-FP8 configs. Auto-regenerates
  docs/design/attention_backends.md.
- Wire TOKENSPEED_MLA into tests/v1/attention/test_mla_backends.py and
  parameterize the prefill backend (FLASH_ATTN, FLASHINFER, TRTLLM_RAGGED,
  TOKENSPEED_MLA); per-test skip via validate_configuration. Drop standalone
  test_tokenspeed_mla_{decode,prefill}.py - coverage now lives there.
- Add TOKENSPEED_MLA to mla_decode.yaml backends and 'tokenspeed' to
  mla_prefill.yaml prefill_backends; mla_runner.py grows a registry-based
  branch that sets attention_config.mla_prefill_backend directly instead of
  the deprecated boolean flags.

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

Originally developed in the Sky Computing Lab at UC Berkeley, vLLM has grown into one of the most active open-source AI projects built and maintained by a diverse community of many dozens of academic institutions and companies from over 2000 contributors.

Where to get started with vLLM depends on the type of user. If you are looking to:

  • Run open-source models on vLLM, we recommend starting with the Quickstart Guide
  • Build applications with vLLM, we recommend starting with the User Guide
  • Build vLLM, we recommend starting with Developer Guide

For information about the development of vLLM, see:

vLLM is fast with:

  • State-of-the-art serving throughput
  • Efficient management of attention key and value memory with PagedAttention
  • Continuous batching of incoming requests, chunked prefill, prefix caching
  • Fast and flexible model execution with piecewise and full CUDA/HIP graphs
  • Quantization: FP8, MXFP8/MXFP4, NVFP4, INT8, INT4, GPTQ/AWQ, GGUF, compressed-tensors, ModelOpt, TorchAO, and more
  • Optimized attention kernels including FlashAttention, FlashInfer, TRTLLM-GEN, FlashMLA, and Triton
  • Optimized GEMM/MoE kernels for various precisions using CUTLASS, TRTLLM-GEN, CuTeDSL
  • Speculative decoding including n-gram, suffix, EAGLE, DFlash
  • Automatic kernel generation and graph-level transformations using torch.compile
  • Disaggregated prefill, decode, and encode

vLLM is flexible and easy to use with:

  • Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
  • High-throughput serving with various decoding algorithms, including parallel sampling, beam search, and more
  • Tensor, pipeline, data, expert, and context parallelism for distributed inference
  • Streaming outputs
  • Generation of structured outputs using xgrammar or guidance
  • Tool calling and reasoning parsers
  • OpenAI-compatible API server, plus Anthropic Messages API and gRPC support
  • Efficient multi-LoRA support for dense and MoE layers
  • Support for NVIDIA GPUs, AMD GPUs, and x86/ARM/PowerPC CPUs. Additionally, diverse hardware plugins such as Google TPUs, Intel Gaudi, IBM Spyre, Huawei Ascend, Rebellions NPU, Apple Silicon, MetaX GPU, and more.

vLLM seamlessly supports 200+ model architectures on HuggingFace, including:

  • Decoder-only LLMs (e.g., Llama, Qwen, Gemma)
  • Mixture-of-Expert LLMs (e.g., Mixtral, DeepSeek-V3, Qwen-MoE, GPT-OSS)
  • Hybrid attention and state-space models (e.g., Mamba, Qwen3.5)
  • Multi-modal models (e.g., LLaVA, Qwen-VL, Pixtral)
  • Embedding and retrieval models (e.g., E5-Mistral, GTE, ColBERT)
  • Reward and classification models (e.g., Qwen-Math)
