xLLM is an efficient LLM inference framework, specifically optimized for Chinese AI accelerators, enabling enterprise-grade deployment with enhanced efficiency and reduced cost.
- Top-tier Performance: Delivers high-throughput, low-latency inference through many advanced features.
- Mainstream Hardware Support: Purpose-built and deeply optimized for Chinese AI accelerators.
- Service-Engine Decoupled Architecture: Service layer handles scheduling and availability; engine layer handles computation.
- Enterprise-grade Deployment: Battle-tested at scale across JD.com's core retail business.

This project was made possible thanks to the following open-source projects:
- ScaleLLM - xLLM draws inspiration from ScaleLLM's graph construction method and references its runtime execution.
- Mooncake - Build xLLM hybrid KV cache management based on Mooncake.
- brpc - Build high-performance http service based on brpc.
- tokenizers-cpp - Build C++ tokenizer based on tokenizers-cpp.
- safetensors - xLLM relies on the C binding safetensors capability.
- Partial JSON Parser - Implement xLLM's C++ JSON parser with insights from Python and Go implementations.
- concurrentqueue - A fast multi-producer, multi-consumer lock-free concurrent queue for C++11.
