Deployment Skill

Serve a model checkpoint as an OpenAI-compatible inference endpoint. Supports vLLM, SGLang, and TRT-LLM (including AutoDeploy).

Quick Start

Prefer scripts/deploy.sh for standard local deployments — it handles quant detection, health checks, and server lifecycle. Use the raw framework commands in Step 4 when you need flags the script doesn't support, or for remote deployment.

# Start vLLM server with a ModelOpt checkpoint
scripts/deploy.sh start --model ./qwen3-0.6b-fp8

# Start with SGLang and tensor parallelism
scripts/deploy.sh start --model ./llama-70b-nvfp4 --framework sglang --tp 4

# Start from HuggingFace hub
scripts/deploy.sh start --model nvidia/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-FP8
