-## About
-
-vLLM is a fast and easy-to-use library for LLM inference and serving.
-
-Originally developed in the [Sky Computing Lab](https://sky.cs.berkeley.edu) at UC Berkeley, vLLM has evolved into a community-driven project with contributions from both academia and industry.
-
-vLLM is fast with:
-
-- State-of-the-art serving throughput
-- Efficient management of attention key and value memory with [**PagedAttention**](https://blog.vllm.ai/2023/06/20/vllm.html)
-- Continuous batching of incoming requests
-- Fast model execution with CUDA/HIP graph
-- Quantizations: [GPTQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.17323), [AWQ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.00978), [AutoRound](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.05516), INT4, INT8, and FP8
-- Optimized CUDA kernels, including integration with FlashAttention and FlashInfer
-- Speculative decoding
-- Chunked prefill
-
-vLLM is flexible and easy to use with:
-
-- Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
-- High-throughput serving with various decoding algorithms, including *parallel sampling*, *beam search*, and more
-- Tensor, pipeline, data and expert parallelism support for distributed inference
-- Streaming outputs
-- OpenAI-compatible API server
-- Support NVIDIA GPUs, AMD CPUs and GPUs, Intel CPUs and GPUs, PowerPC CPUs, TPU, and AWS Neuron
-- Prefix caching support
-- Multi-LoRA support
-
-vLLM seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:
-
-- Transformer-like LLMs (e.g., Llama)
-- Mixture-of-Expert LLMs (e.g., Mixtral, Deepseek-V2 and V3)
-- Embedding Models (e.g., E5-Mistral)
-- Multi-modal LLMs (e.g., LLaVA)
-
-Find the full list of supported models [here](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models.html).
-
-## Getting Started
