0:21

vLLM is an open-source inference server known for PagedAttention and continuous batching, popular for ease of use. TGI, Text Generation Inference from Hugging Face, is another open server with strong production features. TensorRT-LLM from Nvidia is highly optimized for Nvidia hardware with the best raw performance, at the cost of more setup complexity. All three are widely used in 2026.
