SGLang
FreeSGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
About SGLang
SGLang is a high-performance, open-source serving framework designed for large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models (e.g., vision-language, video/image generation). It powers trillions of tokens daily and is recognized with an a16z Open Source AI Grant. SGLang provides day-0 support for latest open models like DeepSeek V3/R1, Nemotron, and MiMo, with optimizations for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. The framework includes features such as a zero-overhead batch scheduler, cache-aware load balancer, structured outputs, speculative decoding (DFlash, Spec V2), and support for PD disaggregation, expert parallelism, and diffusion models. It also runs natively on TPUs via the SGLang-Jax backend and has been integrated into the PyTorch ecosystem.
