localai-org / vllm.cpp
a community oriented 1:1, vLLM-alike (Continuous batching, paged KV) engine in C++ with additional features (GGUF, RadixAttention, Cache-aware scheduling, ...)
Why this job: says: gguf; topics: vllm, mlx
What it does
- One 66 MiB binary instead of a 9.1 GiB install. A flat, exception-free, llama.cpp-style C ABI
- GGUF as a first-class citizen. Load the same quantized files llama.cpp uses, and on CPU
- EXL3 trellis weights. A stock 3.0 bpw Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct checkpoint generates on CPU and
- SGLang's good ideas, as documented toggles. RadixAttention / prefix caching, LPM cache-aware
- Runs on hardware people actually have. CUDA, CPU, Metal, and Vulkan ship from one tree. ROCm
