vLLM adds admission control to prevent self-hosted LLM servers from being overwhelmed

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The vLLM open-source library, used for self-hosting large language models, has introduced admission control features in version 0.33.0 to prevent servers from being overwhelmed by requests. Previously, vLLM would accept all incoming requests, potentially leading to significant delays in response times, especially under heavy load. The new `max_num_queued_reqs` and `max_num_queued_tokens` parameters allow users to set limits on the number of requests or tokens that can be queued, enabling the server to return HTTP 503 errors for requests that exceed these thresholds.
