vLLM has released a new TT Plugin that enables the use of Tenstorrent hardware for serving large language models. This plugin integrates Tenstorrent's accelerators into the vLLM framework via a standard platform plugin mechanism. The integration allows for the serving of various models, including text-only and multimodal ones, using an OpenAI-compatible API without altering existing client code. The plugin leverages Tenstorrent's unique mesh architecture, expressing differences like a phase-constrained scheduler and custom data-parallel topologies directly within the compiled mesh program.
