New high-performance LLM inference engine, directly relevant.
Summary
tiny-vLLM is an open-source inference engine and educational course in C++ and CUDA, designed as a smaller sibling of vLLM. It implements full LLM inference for Llama 3.2 1B Instruct, covering prefill, decode, PagedAttention, continuous batching, and FlashAttention-like online softmax, all from scratch. The repository serves as both a production-grade server and a teaching resource for understanding GPU-accelerated inference.
