## About

[vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) was originally designed to support large language models for text-based autoregressive generation tasks. vLLM-Omni is a framework that extends its support for omni-modality model inference and serving:

- **Omni-modality**: Text, image, audio, video, and action data processing
- **Non-autoregressive Architectures**: extend the AR support of vLLM to Diffusion Transformers (DiT) and other parallel generation models
- **Heterogeneous outputs**: from traditional text generation to multimodal and action outputs

</p>

vLLM-Omni is fast with:

- State-of-the-art AR support by leveraging efficient KV cache management from vLLM
- Pipelined stage execution overlapping for high throughput performance
- Fully disaggregation based on OmniConnector and dynamic resource allocation across stages

vLLM-Omni is flexible and easy to use with:

- Heterogeneous pipeline abstraction to manage complex model workflows
- Seamless integration with popular Hugging Face models
- Tensor, pipeline, data and expert parallelism support for distributed inference
- Streaming outputs
- OpenAI-compatible API server
- [Full-duplex realtime serving](docs/serving/realtime_duplex_api.md) with streaming audio input and output

vLLM-Omni seamlessly supports most popular open-source models on HuggingFace, including:

- **Omni-modality models** (e.g. Qwen3-Omni, MiniCPM-o 4.5, Cosmos3, HunyuanImage, BAGEL)
- **TTS models** (e.g. Qwen3-TTS, Tencent AuK, Breeze-TTS-2, CosyVoice3)
- **Diffusion models** — image, video, and audio generation (e.g. MiniMax H3, LingBot World, MAGI-2, LTX-2.5, Wan2.2)
- **Robot-policy and action models** (e.g. π0.5, GR00T-N1.7, DreamZero-DROID, InternVLA-A1)
