SGLang provides robust support for embedding models by integrating efficient serving mechanisms with its flexible programming interface. This integration allows for streamlined handling of embedding tasks, facilitating faster and more accurate retrieval and semantic search operations. SGLang's architecture enables better resource utilization and reduced latency in embedding model deployment.

These models accept multi-modal inputs (e.g., images and text) and generate text output. They augment language models with visual encoders and require a specific chat template for handling vision prompts.

We need to specify `--chat-template` for VLMs because the chat template provided in HuggingFace tokenizer only supports text. If you do not specify a vision models `--chat-template`, the server uses HuggingFaces default template, which only supports text and the images wont be passed in.
