Tip
This is the recommended way to deploy your model, as it does not require you to build a Docker image, upload heavy models to DockerHub and wait for workers to download them. Instead, use this option to deploy your model in a few clicks. For even more convenience, attach a network storage volume to your Endpoint, which will download the model once and share it across all workers.
We now offer a pre-built Docker Image for the vLLM Worker that you can configure entirely with Environment Variables when creating the RunPod Serverless Endpoint:
Below is a summary of the available RunPod Worker images, categorized by image stability and CUDA version compatibility.
CUDA Version | Stable Image Tag | Development Image Tag | Note |
---|---|---|---|
11.8.0 | runpod/worker-vllm:0.3.0-cuda11.8.0 |
runpod/worker-vllm:dev-cuda11.8.0 |
Available on all RunPod Workers without additional selection needed. |
12.1.0 | runpod/worker-vllm:0.3.0-cuda12.1.0 |
runpod/worker-vllm:dev-cuda12.1.0 |
When creating an Endpoint, select CUDA Version 12.2 and 12.1 in the filter. |
This table provides a quick reference to the image tags you should use based on the desired CUDA version and image stability (Stable or Development). Ensure to follow the selection note for CUDA 12.1.0 compatibility.

MAX_MODEL_LENGTH |
Model's maximum | int |
Maximum number of tokens for the engine to handle per request. |
BASE_PATH |
/runpod-volume |
str |
Storage directory for Huggingface cache and model. Utilizes network storage if attached when pointed at /runpod-volume , which will have only one worker download the model once, which all workers will be able to load. If no network volume is present, creates a local directory within each worker. |

boolean as int |
Trust remote code for Hugging Face models. Can help with Mixtral 8x7B, Quantized models, and unusual models/architectures. |
SEED |
0 |
int |
Sets random seed for operations. |

int |
Load model sequentially in multiple batches, to avoid RAM OOM when using tensor parallel and large models. |
BLOCK_SIZE |
16 |
8 , 16 , 32 |
Token block size for contiguous chunks of tokens. |
SWAP_SPACE |
4 |
int |
CPU swap space size (GiB) per GPU. |
ENFORCE_EAGER |

int |
Batch size for the first request, which will be multiplied by the growth factor every subsequent request. |
DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE_GROWTH_FACTOR |
3 |
float |
Growth factor for dynamic batch size. |
The way this works is that the first request will have a batch size of DEFAULT_MIN_BATCH_SIZE , and each subsequent request will have a batch size of previous_batch_size * DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE_GROWTH_FACTOR . This will continue until the batch size reaches DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE . E.g. for the default values, the batch sizes will be 1, 3, 9, 27, 50, 50, 50, ... . You can also specify this per request, with inputs max_batch_size , min_batch_size , and batch_size_growth_factor . This has nothing to do with vLLM's internal batching, but rather the number of tokens sent in each HTTP request from the worker |

DISABLE_LOG_REQUESTS |
1 |
boolean as int |
Enables or disables vLLM request logging. |
Tip
If you are facing issues when using Mixtral 8x7B, Quantized models, or handling unusual models/architectures, try setting TRUST_REMOTE_CODE
to 1
.
To build an image with the model baked in, you must specify the following docker arguments when building the image.
- RunPod Account
- Docker
- Required
MODEL_NAME
- Optional
MODEL_REVISION
: Model revision to load (default:main
).BASE_PATH
: Storage directory where huggingface cache and model will be located. (default:/runpod-volume
, which will utilize network storage if you attach it or create a local directory within the image if you don't. If your intention is to bake the model into the image, you should set this to something like/models
to make sure there are no issues if you were to accidentally attach network storage.)QUANTIZATION
WORKER_CUDA_VERSION
:11.8.0
or12.1.0
(default:11.8.0
due to a small number of workers not having CUDA 12.1 support yet.12.1.0
is recommended for optimal performance).TOKENIZER_NAME
: Tokenizer repository if you would like to use a different tokenizer than the one that comes with the model. (default:None
, which uses the model's tokenizer)TOKENIZER_REVISION
: Tokenizer revision to load (default:main
).
For the remaining settings, you may apply them as environment variables when running the container. Supported environment variables are listed in the Environment Variables section.
sudo docker build -t username/image:tag --build-arg MODEL_NAME="openchat/openchat_3.5" --build-arg BASE_PATH="/models" .
If the model you would like to deploy is private or gated, you will need to include it during build time as a Docker secret, which will protect it from being exposed in the image and on DockerHub.
- Enable Docker BuildKit (required for secrets).
export DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1
- Export your Hugging Face token as an environment variable
export HF_TOKEN="your_token_here"
- Add the token as a secret when building
docker build -t username/image:tag --secret id=HF_TOKEN --build-arg MODEL_NAME="openchat/openchat_3.5" .
Below are all supported model architectures (and examples of each) that you can deploy using the vLLM Worker. You can deploy any model on HuggingFace, as long as its base architecture is one of the following:

First, initialize the OpenAI Client with your RunPod API Key and Endpoint URL:
from openai import OpenAI
import os
# Initialize the OpenAI Client with your RunPod API Key and Endpoint URL
client = OpenAI(
api_key=os.environ.get("RUNPOD_API_KEY"),
base_url="https://api.runpod.ai/v2/<YOUR ENDPOINT ID>/openai/v1",
)
This is the format used for GPT-4 and focused on instruction-following and chat. Examples of Open Source chat/instruct models include meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf
, mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1
, openchat/openchat-3.5-0106
, NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-2-Mistral-7B-DPO
and more. However, if your model is a completion-style model with no chat/instruct fine-tune and/or does not have a chat template, you can still use this if you provide a chat template with the environment variable CUSTOM_CHAT_TEMPLATE
.
- Streaming:
# Create a chat completion stream response_stream = client.chat.completions.create( model="<YOUR DEPLOYED MODEL REPO/NAME>", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Why is RunPod the best platform?"}], temperature=0, max_tokens=100, stream=True, ) # Stream the response for response in response_stream: print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)
- Non-Streaming:
# Create a chat completion response = client.chat.completions.create( model="<YOUR DEPLOYED MODEL REPO/NAME>", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Why is RunPod the best platform?"}], temperature=0, max_tokens=100, ) # Print the response print(response.choices[0].message.content)
This is the format used for models like GPT-3 and is meant for completing the text you provide. Instead of responding to your message, it will try to complete it. Examples of Open Source completions models include meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf
, mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-v0.1
, Qwen/Qwen-72B
, and more. However, you can use any model with this format.
- Streaming:
# Create a completion stream response_stream = client.completions.create( model="<YOUR DEPLOYED MODEL REPO/NAME>", prompt="Runpod is the best platform because", temperature=0, max_tokens=100, stream=True, ) # Stream the response for response in response_stream: print(response.choices[0].text or "", end="", flush=True)
- Non-Streaming:
# Create a completion response = client.completions.create( model="<YOUR DEPLOYED MODEL REPO/NAME>", prompt="Runpod is the best platform because", temperature=0, max_tokens=100, ) # Print the response print(response.choices[0].text)
In the case of baking the model into the image, sometimes the repo may not be accepted as the model
in the request. In this case, you can list the available models as shown below and use that name.
models_response = client.models.list()
list_of_models = [model.id for model in models_response]
print(list_of_models)

You may either use a prompt
or a list of messages
as input.
-
prompt
The prompt string can be any string, and the model's chat template will not be applied to it unlessapply_chat_template
is set totrue
, in which case it will be treated as a user message.Example:
"prompt": "..."
-
messages
Your list can contain any number of messages, and each message usually can have any role from the following list:user
assistant
system
However, some models may have different roles, so you should check the model's chat template to see which roles are required.
The model's chat template will be applied to the messages automatically, so the model must have one.
Example:
"messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "..." }, { "role": "user", "content": "..." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "..." } ]
