        request into the waiting queue of the LLMEngine and streams the outputs
        from the LLMEngine to the caller.

        Args:
            inputs: The inputs to the LLM. See
                :class:`~vllm.inputs.PromptInputs`
                for more details about the format of each input.
            sampling_params: The sampling parameters of the request.
            request_id: The unique id of the request.
            lora_request: LoRA request to use for generation, if any.
            trace_headers: OpenTelemetry trace headers.
            prompt_adapter_request: Prompt Adapter request to use 
                                            for generation, if any.

        Yields:
            The output `RequestOutput` objects from the LLMEngine
            for the request.

        Details:
            - If the engine is not running, start the background loop,
              which iteratively invokes
              :meth:`~vllm.engine.async_llm_engine.AsyncLLMEngine.engine_step`
              to process the waiting requests.
            - Add the request to the engine's `RequestTracker`.
              On the next background loop, this request will be sent to
              the underlying engine.
              Also, a corresponding `AsyncStream` will be created.
            - Wait for the request outputs from `AsyncStream` and yield them.

        Example:
            >>> # Please refer to entrypoints/api_server.py for
            >>> # the complete example.
            >>>

        Generate outputs for a request. This method is a coroutine. It adds the
        request into the waiting queue of the LLMEngine and streams the outputs
        from the LLMEngine to the caller.

        Args:
            inputs: The inputs to the LLM. See
                :class:`~vllm.inputs.PromptInputs`
                for more details about the format of each input.
            pooling_params: The pooling parameters of the request.
            request_id: The unique id of the request.
            lora_request: LoRA request to use for generation, if any.
            trace_headers: OpenTelemetry trace headers.

        Yields:
            The output `EmbeddingRequestOutput` objects from the LLMEngine
            for the request.

        Details:
            - If the engine is not running, start the background loop,
              which iteratively invokes
              :meth:`~vllm.engine.async_llm_engine.AsyncLLMEngine.engine_step`
              to process the waiting requests.
            - Add the request to the engine's `RequestTracker`.
              On the next background loop, this request will be sent to
              the underlying engine.
              Also, a corresponding `AsyncStream` will be created.
            - Wait for the request outputs from `AsyncStream` and yield them.

        Example:
            >>> # Please refer to entrypoints/api_server.py for
            >>> # the complete example.
            >>>
