class LLM:
    """An LLM for generating texts from given prompts and sampling parameters.

    This class includes a tokenizer, a language model (possibly distributed
    across multiple GPUs), and GPU memory space allocated for intermediate
    states (aka KV cache). Given a batch of prompts and sampling parameters,
    this class generates texts from the model, using an intelligent batching
    mechanism and efficient memory management.

    Args:
        model: The name or path of a HuggingFace Transformers model.
        tokenizer: The name or path of a HuggingFace Transformers tokenizer.
        tokenizer_mode: The tokenizer mode. "auto" will use the fast tokenizer
            if available, and "slow" will always use the slow tokenizer.
        skip_tokenizer_init: If true, skip initialization of tokenizer and
            detokenizer. Expect valid prompt_token_ids and None for prompt
            from the input.
        trust_remote_code: Trust remote code (e.g., from HuggingFace) when
            downloading the model and tokenizer.
        allowed_local_media_path: Allowing API requests to read local images
            or videos from directories specified by the server file system.
            This is a security risk. Should only be enabled in trusted
            environments.
        tensor_parallel_size: The number of GPUs to use for distributed
            execution with tensor parallelism.
        dtype: The data type for the model weights and activations. Currently,
            we support `float32`, `float16`, and `bfloat16`. If `auto`, we use
            the `torch_dtype` attribute specified in the model config file.
            However, if the `torch_dtype` in the config is `float32`, we will
            use `float16` instead.
        quantization: The method used to quantize the model weights. Currently,
            we support "awq", "gptq", and "fp8" (experimental).
            If None, we first check the `quantization_config` attribute in the
            model config file. If that is None, we assume the model weights are
            not quantized and use `dtype` to determine the data type of
            the weights.
        revision: The specific model version to use. It can be a branch name,
            a tag name, or a commit id.
        tokenizer_revision: The specific tokenizer version to use. It can be a
            branch name, a tag name, or a commit id.
        seed: The seed to initialize the random number generator for sampling.
        gpu_memory_utilization: The ratio (between 0 and 1) of GPU memory to
            reserve for the model weights, activations, and KV cache. Higher
            values will increase the KV cache size and thus improve the model's
            throughput. However, if the value is too high, it may cause out-of-
            memory (OOM) errors.
        swap_space: The size (GiB) of CPU memory per GPU to use as swap space.
            This can be used for temporarily storing the states of the requests
            when their `best_of` sampling parameters are larger than 1. If all
            requests will have `best_of=1`, you can safely set this to 0.
            Otherwise, too small values may cause out-of-memory (OOM) errors.
        cpu_offload_gb: The size (GiB) of CPU memory to use for offloading
            the model weights. This virtually increases the GPU memory space
            you can use to hold the model weights, at the cost of CPU-GPU data
            transfer for every forward pass.
        enforce_eager: Whether to enforce eager execution. If True, we will
            disable CUDA graph and always execute the model in eager mode.
            If False, we will use CUDA graph and eager execution in hybrid.
        max_seq_len_to_capture: Maximum sequence len covered by CUDA graphs.
            When a sequence has context length larger than this, we fall back
            to eager mode. Additionally for encoder-decoder models, if the
            sequence length of the encoder input is larger than this, we fall
            back to the eager mode.
        disable_custom_all_reduce: See :class:`~vllm.config.ParallelConfig`
        disable_async_output_proc: Disable async output processing.
            This may result in lower performance.
        hf_overrides: If a dictionary, contains arguments to be forwarded to the
            HuggingFace config. If a callable, it is called to update the
            HuggingFace config.
        compilation_config: Either an integer or a dictionary. If it is an
            integer, it is used as the level of compilation optimization. If it
            is a dictionary, it can specify the full compilation configuration.
        **kwargs: Arguments for :class:`~vllm.EngineArgs`. (See
            :ref:`engine_args`)

    Note:
        This class is intended to be used for offline inference. For online
        serving, use the :class:`~vllm.AsyncLLMEngine` class instead.

        This class automatically batches the given prompts, considering
        the memory constraint. For the best performance, put all of your prompts
        into a single list and pass it to this method.

        Args:
            prompts: The prompts to the LLM. You may pass a sequence of prompts
                for batch inference. See :class:`~vllm.inputs.PromptType`
                for more details about the format of each prompts.
            sampling_params: The sampling parameters for text generation. If
                None, we use the default sampling parameters.
                When it is a single value, it is applied to every prompt.
                When it is a list, the list must have the same length as the
                prompts and it is paired one by one with the prompt.
            use_tqdm: Whether to use tqdm to display the progress bar.
            lora_request: LoRA request to use for generation, if any.
            prompt_adapter_request: Prompt Adapter request to use for
                generation, if any.
            priority: The priority of the requests, if any.
                Only applicable when priority scheduling policy is enabled.

        Returns:
            A list of ``RequestOutput`` objects containing the

        The chat conversation is converted into a text prompt using the
        tokenizer and calls the :meth:`generate` method to generate the
        responses.

        Multi-modal inputs can be passed in the same way you would pass them
        to the OpenAI API.

        Args:
            messages: A list of conversations or a single conversation.

              - Each conversation is represented as a list of messages.
              - Each message is a dictionary with 'role' and 'content' keys.

            sampling_params: The sampling parameters for text generation.
                If None, we use the default sampling parameters. When it
                is a single value, it is applied to every prompt. When it
                is a list, the list must have the same length as the
                prompts and it is paired one by one with the prompt.
            use_tqdm: Whether to use tqdm to display the progress bar.
            lora_request: LoRA request to use for generation, if any.
            chat_template: The template to use for structuring the chat.
              If not provided, the model's default chat template will be used.
            chat_template_content_format: The format to render message content.

              - "string" will render the content as a string.
                Example: ``"Who are you?"``
              - "openai" will render the content as a list of dictionaries,
                similar to OpenAI schema.
                Example: ``[{"type": "text", "text": "Who are you?"}]``

            add_generation_prompt: If True, adds a generation template
                to each message.
            continue_final_message: If True, continues the final message in
                the conversation instead of starting a new one. Cannot be
                ``True`` if ``add_generation_prompt`` is also ``True``.
            mm_processor_kwargs: Multimodal processor kwarg overrides for this
                chat request. Only used for offline requests.

        Returns:
