# Benchmarking vLLM

This README guides you through running benchmark tests with the extensive
datasets supported on vLLM. It’s a living document, updated as new features and datasets
become available.

## Example - Online Benchmark

First start serving your model

```bash
vllm serve NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B --disable-log-requests
```

Then run the benchmarking script

```bash
# download dataset
# wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/anon8231489123/ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered/resolve/main/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json
python3 vllm/benchmarks/benchmark_serving.py \
  --backend vllm \
  --model NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-8B \
  --endpoint /v1/completions \
  --dataset-name sharegpt \
  --dataset-path <your data path>/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json \
  --num-prompts 10
```

If successful, you will see the following output

```
