SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
It makes your interaction with models faster and more controllable by co-designing the backend runtime and frontend language.
The core features include:
- **Fast Backend Runtime**: Efficient serving with RadixAttention for prefix caching, jump-forward constrained decoding, continuous batching, token attention (paged attention), tensor parallelism, FlashInfer kernels, and quantization (AWQ/FP8/GPTQ/Marlin).
- **Flexible Frontend Language**: Enables easy programming of LLM applications with chained generation calls, advanced prompting, control flow, multiple modalities, parallelism, and external interactions.
- **Fast Backend Runtime**: Provides efficient serving with RadixAttention for prefix caching, jump-forward constrained decoding, continuous batching, token attention (paged attention), tensor parallelism, FlashInfer kernels, chunked prefill, and quantization (INT4/FP8/AWQ/GPTQ).
- **Flexible Frontend Language**: Offers an intuitive interface for programming LLM applications, including chained generation calls, advanced prompting, control flow, multi-modal inputs, parallelism, and external interactions.
- **Extensive Model Support**: Supports a wide range of generative models (Llama 3, Gemma 2, Mistral, QWen, DeepSeek, LLaVA, etc.) and embedding models (e5-mistral), with easy extensibility for integrating new models.
- **Active Community**: SGLang is open-source and backed by an active community with industry adoption, welcoming contributions to improve LLM and VLM serving.

- To enable torch.compile support, you can add `--enable-torch-compile`. It accelerates small models on small batch sizes.
- To enable fp8 weight quantization, you can add `--quantization fp8` on a fp16 checkpoint or directly load a fp8 checkpoint without specifying any arguments.
- To enable fp8 kv cache quanzation, you can add `--kv-cache-dtype fp8_e5m2`.
- If the model does not have a template in the Hugging Face tokenizer, you can specify a [custom chat template](docs/en/custom_chat_template.md).
- Add `--nnodes 2` to run tensor parallelism on multiple nodes. If you have two nodes with two GPUs on each node and want to run TP=4, let `sgl-dev-0` be the hostname of the first node and `50000` be an available port.
