# --8<-- [start:installation]
vLLM 0.3.3 onwards supports model inferencing and serving on AWS Trainium/Inferentia with Neuron SDK with continuous batching.
Paged Attention and Chunked Prefill are currently in development and will be available soon.
Data types currently supported in Neuron SDK are FP16 and BF16.
[AWS Neuron](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/) is the software development kit (SDK) used to run deep learning and
generative AI workloads on AWS Inferentia and AWS Trainium powered Amazon EC2 instances and UltraServers (Inf1, Inf2, Trn1, Trn2,
and Trn2 UltraServer). Both Trainium and Inferentia are powered by fully-independent heterogeneous compute-units called NeuronCores.
This tab describes how to set up your environment to run vLLM on Neuron.
!!! warning
There are no pre-built wheels or images for this device, so you must build vLLM from source.

## Configure a new environment
### Launch Trn1/Inf2 instances
### Launch a Trn1/Trn2/Inf2 instance and verify Neuron dependencies
Here are the steps to launch trn1/inf2 instances, in order to install [PyTorch Neuron ("torch-neuronx") Setup on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/general/setup/neuron-setup/pytorch/neuronx/ubuntu/torch-neuronx-ubuntu22.html).
The easiest way to launch a Trainium or Inferentia instance with pre-installed Neuron dependencies is to follow this
[quick start guide](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/general/setup/neuron-setup/multiframework/multi-framework-ubuntu22-neuron-dlami.html#setup-ubuntu22-multi-framework-dlami) using the Neuron Deep Learning AMI (Amazon machine image).
- Please follow the instructions at [launch an Amazon EC2 Instance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html#ec2-launch-instance) to launch an instance. When choosing the instance type at the EC2 console, please make sure to select the correct instance type.
- To get more information about instances sizes and pricing see: [Trn1 web page](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/trn1/), [Inf2 web page](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/inf2/)
- Select Ubuntu Server 22.04 TLS AMI
- When launching a Trn1/Inf2, please adjust your primary EBS volume size to a minimum of 512GB.
- After launching the instance, follow the instructions in [Connect to your instance](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstancesLinux.html) to connect to the instance
### Install drivers and tools
The installation of drivers and tools wouldn't be necessary, if [Deep Learning AMI Neuron](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dlami/latest/devguide/appendix-ami-release-notes.html) is installed. In case the drivers and tools are not installed on the operating system, follow the steps below:
- Once inside your instance, activate the pre-installed virtual environment for inference by running
```console
# Configure Linux for Neuron repository updates
. /etc/os-release
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neuron.list > /dev/null <<EOF
deb https://apt.repos.neuron.amazonaws.com ${VERSION_CODENAME} main

Refer to the [NxD Inference Setup Guide](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/nxd-inference/nxdi-setup.html)
for alternative setup instructions including using Docker and manually installing dependencies.
!!! note
NxD Inference is the default recommended backend to run inference on Neuron. If you are looking to use the legacy [transformers-neuronx](https://github.com/aws-neuron/transformers-neuronx)
library, refer to [Transformers NeuronX Setup](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/transformers-neuronx/setup/index.html).

!!! note
The currently supported version of Pytorch for Neuron installs `triton` version `2.1.0`. This is incompatible with `vllm >= 0.5.3`. You may see an error `cannot import name 'default_dump_dir...`. To work around this, run a `pip install --upgrade triton==3.0.0` after installing the vLLM wheel.
Following instructions are applicable to Neuron SDK 2.16 and beyond.
#### Install transformers-neuronx and its dependencies
[transformers-neuronx](https://github.com/aws-neuron/transformers-neuronx) will be the backend to support inference on trn1/inf2 instances.
Follow the steps below to install transformer-neuronx package and its dependencies.
```console
# Install Python venv
sudo apt-get install -y python3.10-venv g++
# Create Python venv
python3.10 -m venv aws_neuron_venv_pytorch
# Activate Python venv
source aws_neuron_venv_pytorch/bin/activate
# Install Jupyter notebook kernel
pip install ipykernel
python3.10 -m ipykernel install \
--user \
--name aws_neuron_venv_pytorch \
--display-name "Python (torch-neuronx)"
pip install jupyter notebook
pip install environment_kernels
# Set pip repository pointing to the Neuron repository
python -m pip config set \
global.extra-index-url \
https://pip.repos.neuron.amazonaws.com
# Install wget, awscli
python -m pip install wget
python -m pip install awscli
# Update Neuron Compiler and Framework
python -m pip install --upgrade neuronx-cc==2.* --pre torch-neuronx==2.1.* torchvision transformers-neuronx
```
#### Install vLLM from source
Once neuronx-cc and transformers-neuronx packages are installed, we will be able to install vllm as follows:
Install vllm as follows:
```console
git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm.git
cd vllm
pip install -U -r requirements/neuron.txt
VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE="neuron" pip install .
VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE="neuron" pip install -e .
```
If neuron packages are detected correctly in the installation process, `vllm-0.3.0+neuron212` will be installed.
AWS Neuron maintains a [Github fork of vLLM](https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm/tree/neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2) at
[https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm/tree/neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2](https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm/tree/neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2), which contains several features in addition to what's
available on vLLM V0. Please utilize the AWS Fork for the following features:
- Llama-3.2 multi-modal support
- Multi-node distributed inference
Refer to [vLLM User Guide for NxD Inference](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/nxd-inference/developer_guides/vllm-user-guide.html)
for more details and usage examples.
To install the AWS Neuron fork, run the following:
```console
git clone -b neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2 https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm.git
cd upstreaming-to-vllm
pip install -r requirements/neuron.txt
VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE="neuron" pip install -e .
```
Note that the AWS Neuron fork is only intended to support Neuron hardware; compatibility with other hardwares is not tested.

### Feature support through NxD Inference backend
The current vLLM and Neuron integration relies on either the `neuronx-distributed-inference` (preferred) or `transformers-neuronx` backend
to perform most of the heavy lifting which includes PyTorch model initialization, compilation, and runtime execution. Therefore, most
[features supported on Neuron](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/nxd-inference/developer_guides/feature-guide.html) are also available via the vLLM integration.
To configure NxD Inference features through the vLLM entrypoint, use the `override_neuron_config` setting. Provide the configs you want to override
as a dictionary (or JSON object when starting vLLM from the CLI). For example, to disable auto bucketing, include
```console
override_neuron_config={
"enable_bucketing":False,
}
```
or when launching vLLM from the CLI, pass
```console
--override-neuron-config "{\"enable_bucketing\":false}"
```
Alternatively, users can directly call the NxDI library to trace and compile your model, then load the pre-compiled artifacts
(via `NEURON_COMPILED_ARTIFACTS` environment variable) in vLLM to run inference workloads.
### Known limitations
- EAGLE speculative decoding: NxD Inference requires the EAGLE draft checkpoint to include the LM head weights from the target model. Refer to this
[guide](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/nxd-inference/developer_guides/feature-guide.html#eagle-checkpoint-compatibility)
for how to convert pretrained EAGLE model checkpoints to be compatible for NxDI.
- Quantization: the native quantization flow in vLLM is not well supported on NxD Inference. It is recommended to follow this
[Neuron quantization guide](https://awsdocs-neuron.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/libraries/nxd-inference/developer_guides/custom-quantization.html)
to quantize and compile your model using NxD Inference, and then load the compiled artifacts into vLLM.
- Multi-LoRA serving: NxD Inference only supports loading of LoRA adapters at server startup. Dynamic loading of LoRA adapters at
runtime is not currently supported. Refer to [multi-lora example](https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm/blob/neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2/examples/offline_inference/neuron_multi_lora.py)
- Multi-modal support: multi-modal support is only available through the AWS Neuron fork. This feature has not been upstreamed
to vLLM main because NxD Inference currently relies on certain adaptations to the core vLLM logic to support this feature.
- Multi-node support: distributed inference across multiple Trainium/Inferentia instances is only supported on the AWS Neuron fork. Refer
to this [multi-node example](https://github.com/aws-neuron/upstreaming-to-vllm/tree/neuron-2.23-vllm-v0.7.2/examples/neuron/multi_node)
to run. Note that tensor parallelism (distributed inference across NeuronCores) is available in vLLM main.
- Known edge case bug in speculative decoding: An edge case failure may occur in speculative decoding when sequence length approaches
max model length (e.g. when requesting max tokens up to the max model length and ignoring eos). In this scenario, vLLM may attempt
to allocate an additional block to ensure there is enough memory for number of lookahead slots, but since we do not have good support
for paged attention, there isn't another Neuron block for vLLM to allocate. A workaround fix (to terminate 1 iteration early) is
implemented in the AWS Neuron fork but is not upstreamed to vLLM main as it modifies core vLLM logic.
### Environment variables
- `NEURON_COMPILED_ARTIFACTS`: set this environment variable to point to your pre-compiled model artifacts directory to avoid
compilation time upon server initialization. If this variable is not set, the Neuron module will perform compilation and save the
artifacts under `neuron-compiled-artifacts/{unique_hash}/` sub-directory in the model path. If this environment variable is set,
but the directory does not exist, or the contents are invalid, Neuron will also fallback to a new compilation and store the artifacts
under this specified path.
- `NEURON_CONTEXT_LENGTH_BUCKETS`: Bucket sizes for context encoding. (Only applicable to `transformers-neuronx` backend).
- `NEURON_TOKEN_GEN_BUCKETS`: Bucket sizes for token generation. (Only applicable to `transformers-neuronx` backend).
