Timeline (last 90 days)
Efficient operators such as FlashAttention have been deeply integrated into mainstream frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorRT-LLM, and vLLM.
NVIDIA's GPUs and CUDA ecosystem, along with inference acceleration libraries such as TensorRT-LLM, are currently the primary hardware and software support for production deployment of open-source models.
The header of DeepInfer's LLM class file states 'Derived from vLLM, Modified by DeepSeek', indicating it is built on vLLM and also references SGLang and TensorRT-LLM.
An inference framework is a software system dedicated to efficiently running already-trained large models, with core tasks including computation graph optimization, operator fusion, memory management, batching and scheduling, and quantized inference.
Mainstream open-source inference frameworks include vLLM (known for PagedAttention), SGLang (noted for RadixAttention and structured output), TensorRT-LLM (deeply optimized by NVIDIA), and Hugging Face TGI.
This deployment uses SGLang as the inference engine, and the community has other new engines such as TensorRT-LLM in the works.
The existence of inference engine projects such as vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT-LLM has reduced the marginal novelty of a new open-source inference engine.
TensorRT-LLM is led by NVIDIA, deeply tied to NVIDIA hardware, and squeezes out extreme performance through compilation optimization.
Dynamo's Workers can run the SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, or vLLM inference engines, depending on the deployment configuration.
Inference service providers typically use open-source inference engines such as vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, and SGLang, combined with techniques such as quantization, batching, and speculative decoding to increase throughput and reduce latency.
