feat: updated inline vllm inference provider (#880)
# What does this PR do?

This PR updates the inline vLLM inference provider in several
significant ways:
* Models are now attached at run time to instances of the provider via
the `.../models` API instead of hard-coding the model's full name into
the provider's YAML configuration.
* The provider supports models that are not Meta Llama models. Any model
that vLLM supports can be loaded by passing Huggingface coordinates in
the "provider_model_id" field. Custom fine-tuned versions of Meta Llama
models can be loaded by specifying a path on local disk in the
"provider_model_id".
* To implement full chat completions support, including tool calling and
constrained decoding, the provider now routes the `chat_completions` API
to a captive (i.e. called directly in-process, not via HTTPS) instance
of vLLM's OpenAI-compatible server .
* The `logprobs` parameter and completions API are also working.

## Test Plan

Existing tests in
`llama_stack/providers/tests/inference/test_text_inference.py` have good
coverage of the new functionality. These tests can be invoked as
follows:

```
cd llama-stack && pytest \
    -vvv \
    llama_stack/providers/tests/inference/test_text_inference.py \
    --providers inference=vllm \
    --inference-model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct

Llama Stack

PyPI version PyPI - Downloads License Discord

Quick Start | Documentation | Colab Notebook

Llama Stack standardizes the core building blocks that simplify AI application development. It codifies best practices across the Llama ecosystem. More specifically, it provides

  • Unified API layer for Inference, RAG, Agents, Tools, Safety, Evals, and Telemetry.
  • Plugin architecture to support the rich ecosystem of different API implementations in various environments, including local development, on-premises, cloud, and mobile.
  • Prepackaged verified distributions which offer a one-stop solution for developers to get started quickly and reliably in any environment.
  • Multiple developer interfaces like CLI and SDKs for Python, Typescript, iOS, and Android.
  • Standalone applications as examples for how to build production-grade AI applications with Llama Stack.
Llama Stack

Llama Stack Benefits

  • Flexible Options: Developers can choose their preferred infrastructure without changing APIs and enjoy flexible deployment choices.
  • Consistent Experience: With its unified APIs, Llama Stack makes it easier to build, test, and deploy AI applications with consistent application behavior.
  • Robust Ecosystem: Llama Stack is already integrated with distribution partners (cloud providers, hardware vendors, and AI-focused companies) that offer tailored infrastructure, software, and services for deploying Llama models.

By reducing friction and complexity, Llama Stack empowers developers to focus on what they do best: building transformative generative AI applications.

API Providers

Here is a list of the various API providers and available distributions that can help developers get started easily with Llama Stack.

Distributions

A Llama Stack Distribution (or "distro") is a pre-configured bundle of provider implementations for each API component. Distributions make it easy to get started with a specific deployment scenario - you can begin with a local development setup (eg. ollama) and seamlessly transition to production (eg. Fireworks) without changing your application code. Here are some of the distributions we support:
