xLLM is a high-performance LLM inference engine that supports LLM, VLM, DiT, and REC models, and is optimized for a variety of AI accelerators. It is hosted by the OpenAtom Foundation.
[Purpose] xLLM is an efficient LLM inference framework, specifically optimized for domestic AI accelerators, aimed at enterprise-level deployment, with the goal of improving efficiency and reducing costs.
[Main Capabilities]
- Top-tier performance: Achieves high throughput and low latency inference through multiple advanced features.
- Mainstream hardware support: Specifically built and deeply optimized for domestic AI accelerators.
- Decoupled service and engine architecture: The service layer handles scheduling and availability, while the engine layer handles computation.
- Enterprise-level deployment: Has been claimed to be validated in large-scale scenarios in JD.com's core retail business.
- Supported model types: LLM, VLM, DiT, and REC models.
- Hybrid KV cache management: Built on Mooncake, supports global KV cache management, with intelligent offloading and prefetching capabilities.
