vLLM Ascend plugin (vllm-ascend) is a community-maintained hardware plugin for running vLLM on the Ascend NPU.
2025-02-13 18:44:17 +08:00
This plugin is the recommended approach for supporting the Ascend backend within the vLLM community. It adheres to the principles outlined in the [[RFC]: Hardware pluggable](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/11162), providing a hardware-pluggable interface that decouples the integration of the Ascend NPU with vLLM.
2025-11-08 18:48:59 +08:00
By using vLLM Ascend plugin, popular open-source models, including Transformer-like, Mixture-of-Experts, Embedding, Multi-modal LLMs can run seamlessly on the Ascend NPU.
