Transformers Backend Performance Matches vLLM

The author states that @vllmproject's modeling backend in transformers is now as fast as vLLM itself.
This implies that once a model is added to transformers, it can achieve near-native performance almost immediately. After a single development effort, it can be trained, inferenced, and deployed across various environments.
