About OpenLLM

OpenLLM is an open-source platform by BentoML that enables users to run any open-source large language model (LLM), such as DeepSeek and Llama, as an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It provides a unified framework for packaging, deploying, and scaling models across various architectures and frameworks including vLLM, TRT-LLM, JAX, SGLang, and PyTorch Transformers. OpenLLM offers a model catalog with pre-optimized models for quick deployment, custom model serving, intelligent scaling with cross-region and elastic auto-scaling, cold-start acceleration, and fine-grained access control. Deployments can be on your own cloud, on-premises Kubernetes, or Bento Cloud with access to cutting-edge GPUs like NVIDIA H100 and AMD MI300X. The platform emphasizes tailored optimization, distributed inference, and inference-specific metrics for efficient resource utilization.
