vLLM Integrates Transformers Backend for Native Inference Speed
LysandreJik · x · 2026-07-10
The vLLM project has integrated the Transformers modeling backend, allowing it to run as fast as native vLLM. This means developers only need to add a model once in Transformers to achieve 100% native inference performance across any environment and hardware, truly realizing "train once, infer anywhere."
