What is vLLM?

vLLM is a high-performance library for Large Language Model inference and serving that significantly optimizes memory usage and processing speed through advanced techniques like continuous batching and PagedAttention. It enables organizations to efficiently deploy and scale language models, reducing computational costs while maintaining high throughput - for example, a financial services company using vLLM can process thousands of concurrent customer service queries through their chatbot system, cutting response times from seconds to milliseconds while using fewer GPU resources compared to traditional serving methods.

Why is vLLM better on Shakudo?

vLLM is designed for high-throughput, low-latency large language model inference by optimizing memory and execution efficiency. On Shakudo, vLLM operates within a cohesive environment where data sources and compute resources are already harmonized, eliminating the need for bespoke DevOps pipelines or infrastructure configuration for model serving.

Enterprises using vLLM without Shakudo typically assemble ad hoc stacks—integrating inference servers, model registries, and observability tooling—each requiring ongoing maintenance. On Shakudo, all these components are pre-integrated across the AI operating system, allowing teams to productionize LLM inference far faster with fewer engineers and reduced infrastructure complexity.

When a team deploys vLLM on Shakudo, resource scaling, version control, access management, and logging are automatically handled, enabling immediate experimentation and iteration. The friction that often stalls LLM adoption—such as unstable environments or tool incompatibility—is abstracted away, so the focus remains on shipping value, not managing infrastructure.
