This repository contains scripts for benchmarking the performance of large language models (LLMs) served using vLLM.
A startup called Backprop has demonstrated that a single Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU, released in 2020, can handle serving a modest large language model (LLM) like Llama 3.1 8B to over 100 concurrent users with acceptable throughput. This suggests that expensive enterprise GPUs may not be necessary for scaling LLMs to a few thousand users.
