Ant Group, vLLM open-source Humming for quantized LLM inference

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ant Group and the vLLM community have jointly released Humming, an open-source library for just-in-time compiled GEMM kernels. This library is designed to accelerate quantized LLM inference, supporting a range of integer and floating-point weight formats. Humming also offers full compatibility with T-Head's Zhenwu 810E accelerator, providing an alternative to NVIDIA hardware. AI

IMPACT Accelerates quantized LLM inference, offering hardware alternatives beyond NVIDIA.
