Ray Serve LLM enables scalable, production-grade serving of the vLLM engine. It integrates tightly with vLLM and extends it with features such as auto-scaling, load balancing, and back-pressure.
Key capabilities:
- Exposes an OpenAI-compatible HTTP API as well as a Pythonic API.
- Scales from a single GPU to a multi-node cluster without code changes.
- Provides observability and autoscaling policies through Ray dashboards and metrics.
The following example shows how to deploy a large model like DeepSeek R1 with Ray Serve LLM: <gh-file:examples/online_serving/ray_serve_deepseek.py>.
