techNmak · x · 2026-10-17
Entry 7 in an LLM inference learning list: Mini-SGLang (5.3k stars). A compact implementation of SGLang that serves as both a capable inference engine and a transparent reference in 5,000 lines of Python, demystifying modern LLM serving. Includes architecture notes covering prefix caching, chunked prefill, and overlap scheduling; requires Linux and CUDA.
