vllm-project / vllm-metal
Community maintained hardware plugin for vLLM on Apple Silicon
Why this job: topics: apple-silicon, vllm, mlx
What it does
Upstream vLLM supplies the API server, scheduler, and paged block manager; mlx_lm supplies the token-wise model layers; vllm-metal owns the request-aware attention path — the paged varlen kernel, M5 NAX prefill, and speculative decoding.
