           TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
        
           1. Definitions.
        
              "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
              and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
        
              "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
              the copyright owner that is granting the License.
        
              "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
              other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
              control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
              "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
              direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
              otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
              outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
        
              "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
              exercising permissions granted by this License.
        
              "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
              including but not limited to software source code, documentation
              source, and configuration files.

              not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
              and conversions to other media types.
        
              "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
              Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
              copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
              (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
        
              "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
              the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
        
              "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
              the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
              to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
              submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
              or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
              the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
              means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
              to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
              communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
              and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
              Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
              excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
              designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
        
              "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
              publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

| [**Blog**](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-07-25-sglang-llama3/) | [**Paper**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.07104) | [**Slack**](https://join.slack.com/t/sgl-fru7574/shared_invite/zt-2ngly9muu-t37XiH87qvD~6rVBTkTEHw) |

SGLang is a fast serving framework for large language models and vision language models.
It makes your interaction with models faster and more controllable by co-designing the backend runtime and frontend language.

The core features include:
- **Fast Backend Runtime**: Efficient serving with RadixAttention for prefix caching, jump-forward constrained decoding, continuous batching, token attention (paged attention), tensor parallelism, flashinfer kernels, and quantization (AWQ/FP8/GPTQ/Marlin).
- **Flexible Frontend Language**: Enables easy programming of LLM applications with chained generation calls, advanced prompting, control flow, multiple modalities, parallelism, and external interactions.

## News
- [2024/07] 🔥 Faster Llama3 Serving with SGLang Runtime (vs. TensorRT-LLM, vLLM) ([blog](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-07-25-sglang-llama3/)).
- [2024/04] SGLang is used by the official **LLaVA-NeXT (video)** release ([blog](https://llava-vl.github.io/blog/2024-04-30-llava-next-video/)).
- [2024/02] SGLang enables **3x faster JSON decoding** with compressed finite state machine ([blog](https://lmsys.org/blog/2024-02-05-compressed-fsm/)).

## Install

### Method 1: With pip
```
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install "sglang[all]"

# Install FlashInfer CUDA kernels
pip install flashinfer -i https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu121/torch2.3/
```

### Method 2: From source
```
# Use the last release branch
git clone -b v0.2.10 https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
cd sglang

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -e "python[all]"

# Install FlashInfer CUDA kernels
pip install flashinfer -i https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu121/torch2.3/
```

### Method 3: Using docker
The docker images are available on Docker Hub as [lmsysorg/sglang](https://hub.docker.com/r/lmsysorg/sglang/tags), built from [Dockerfile](docker).
Replace `<secret>` below with your huggingface hub [token](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/security-tokens).

```bash
docker run --gpus all \
    -p 30000:30000 \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
    --env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \
    --ipc=host \
    lmsysorg/sglang:latest \
    python3 -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --host 0.0.0.0 --port 30000
```

### Common Notes
- If you cannot install FlashInfer, check out its [installation](https://docs.flashinfer.ai/installation.html#) page. If you still cannot install it, you can use the slower Triton kernels by adding `--disable-flashinfer` when launching the server.
- If you only need to use the OpenAI backend, you can avoid installing other dependencies by using `pip install "sglang[openai]"`.

## Backend: SGLang Runtime (SRT)
The SGLang Runtime (SRT) is an efficient serving engine.

### Quick Start
Launch a server
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000
```

Send a request
```
curl http://localhost:30000/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Once upon a time,",
    "sampling_params": {
      "max_new_tokens": 16,
      "temperature": 0
    }
  }'
```
Learn more about the argument format [here](docs/en/sampling_params.md).

### OpenAI Compatible API
In addition, the server supports OpenAI-compatible APIs.

```python
import openai
client = openai.Client(
    base_url="http://127.0.0.1:30000/v1", api_key="EMPTY")

# Text completion
response = client.completions.create(
	model="default",
	prompt="The capital of France is",
	temperature=0,
	max_tokens=32,
)
print(response)

# Chat completion
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="default",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful AI assistant"},
        {"role": "user", "content": "List 3 countries and their capitals."},
    ],
    temperature=0,
    max_tokens=64,
)
print(response)
```

It supports streaming, vision, and most features of the Chat/Completions/Models endpoints specified by the [OpenAI API Reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/).

### Additional Server Arguments
- Add `--tp 2` to enable tensor parallelism. If it indicates `peer access is not supported between these two devices`, add `--enable-p2p-check` option.
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000 --tp 2
```
- Add `--dp 2` to enable data parallelism. It can also be used together with tp. Data parallelism is better for throughput if there is enough memory.
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000 --dp 2 --tp 2
```
- If you see out-of-memory errors during serving, please try to reduce the memory usage of the KV cache pool by setting a smaller value of `--mem-fraction-static`. The default value is `0.9`
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000 --mem-fraction-static 0.7
```
- See [hyperparameter_tuning.md](docs/en/hyperparameter_tuning.md) on tuning hyperparameters for better performance.
- Add `--nnodes 2` to run tensor parallelism on multiple nodes. If you have two nodes with two GPUs on each node and want to run TP=4, let `sgl-dev-0` be the hostname of the first node and `50000` be an available port.
```
# Node 0
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --tp 4 --nccl-init sgl-dev-0:50000 --nnodes 2 --node-rank 0

# Node 1
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --tp 4 --nccl-init sgl-dev-0:50000 --nnodes 2 --node-rank 1
```
- If the model does not have a template in the Hugging Face tokenizer, you can specify a [custom chat template](docs/en/custom_chat_template.md).
- To enable fp8 quantization, you can add `--quantization fp8` on a fp16 checkpoint or directly load a fp8 checkpoint without specifying any arguments.
- To enable experimental torch.compile support, you can add `--enable-torch-compile`. It accelerates small models on small batch sizes.

### Run Llama 3.1 405B

### Benchmark Performance

- Benchmark a single static batch by running the following command without launching a server. The arguments are the same as for `launch_server.py`. Note that this is not a dynamic batching server, so it may run out of memory for a batch size that a real server can handle. A real server truncates the prefill into several batches, while this unit test does not. For accurate large batch testing, consider using `sglang.bench_serving`.
  ```
  python -m sglang.bench_latency --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --batch 32 --input-len 256 --output-len 32
  ```
- Benchmark online serving. Launch a server first and run the following command.
  ```
  python3 -m sglang.bench_serving --backend sglang --num-prompt 10
  ```

## Frontend: Structured Generation Language (SGLang)
The frontend language can be used with local models or API models.

### Quick Start
The example below shows how to use sglang to answer a mulit-turn question.

#### Using Local Models
First, launch a server with
```
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct --port 30000
```

Then, connect to the server and answer a multi-turn question.

```python
from sglang import function, system, user, assistant, gen, set_default_backend, RuntimeEndpoint

@function
def multi_turn_question(s, question_1, question_2):
    s += system("You are a helpful assistant.")
    s += user(question_1)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_1", max_tokens=256))
    s += user(question_2)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_2", max_tokens=256))

set_default_backend(RuntimeEndpoint("http://localhost:30000"))

state = multi_turn_question.run(
    question_1="What is the capital of the United States?",
    question_2="List two local attractions.",
)

for m in state.messages():
    print(m["role"], ":", m["content"])

print(state["answer_1"])
```

#### Using OpenAI Models
Set the OpenAI API Key
```
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-******
```

Then, answer a multi-turn question.
```python
from sglang import function, system, user, assistant, gen, set_default_backend, OpenAI

@function
def multi_turn_question(s, question_1, question_2):
    s += system("You are a helpful assistant.")
    s += user(question_1)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_1", max_tokens=256))
    s += user(question_2)
    s += assistant(gen("answer_2", max_tokens=256))

set_default_backend(OpenAI("gpt-3.5-turbo"))

state = multi_turn_question.run(
    question_1="What is the capital of the United States?",
    question_2="List two local attractions.",
)

for m in state.messages():
    print(m["role"], ":", m["content"])

print(state["answer_1"])
```

#### More Examples

Anthropic and VertexAI (Gemini) models are also supported.
You can find more examples at [examples/quick_start](examples/quick_start).

### Language Feature
To begin with, import sglang.
```python
import sglang as sgl
```

`sglang` provides some simple primitives such as `gen`, `select`, `fork`, `image`.
You can implement your prompt flow in a function decorated by `sgl.function`.
You can then invoke the function with `run` or `run_batch`.
The system will manage the state, chat template, parallelism and batching for you.

The complete code for the examples below can be found at [readme_examples.py](examples/usage/readme_examples.py)

#### Control Flow
You can use any Python code within the function body, including control flow, nested function calls, and external libraries.

```python
@sgl.function
def tool_use(s, question):
    s += "To answer this question: " + question + ". "
    s += "I need to use a " + sgl.gen("tool", choices=["calculator", "search engine"]) + ". "

    if s["tool"] == "calculator":
        s += "The math expression is" + sgl.gen("expression")
    elif s["tool"] == "search engine":
        s += "The key word to search is" + sgl.gen("word")
```

#### Parallelism
Use `fork` to launch parallel prompts.
Because `sgl.gen` is non-blocking, the for loop below issues two generation calls in parallel.

```python
@sgl.function
def tip_suggestion(s):
    s += (
        "Here are two tips for staying healthy: "
        "1. Balanced Diet. 2. Regular Exercise.\n\n"
    )

    forks = s.fork(2)
    for i, f in enumerate(forks):
        f += f"Now, expand tip {i+1} into a paragraph:\n"
        f += sgl.gen(f"detailed_tip", max_tokens=256, stop="\n\n")

    s += "Tip 1:" + forks[0]["detailed_tip"] + "\n"
    s += "Tip 2:" + forks[1]["detailed_tip"] + "\n"
    s += "In summary" + sgl.gen("summary")
```

#### Multi Modality
Use `sgl.image` to pass an image as input.

```python
@sgl.function
def image_qa(s, image_file, question):
    s += sgl.user(sgl.image(image_file) + question)
    s += sgl.assistant(sgl.gen("answer", max_tokens=256)
```

See also [srt_example_llava.py](examples/quick_start/srt_example_llava.py).

#### Constrained Decoding
Use `regex` to specify a regular expression as a decoding constraint.
This is only supported for local models.

```python
@sgl.function
def regular_expression_gen(s):
    s += "Q: What is the IP address of the Google DNS servers?\n"
    s += "A: " + sgl.gen(
        "answer",
        temperature=0,
        regex=r"((25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d\d?).){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4]\d|[01]?\d\d?)",
    )
```

#### JSON Decoding
Use `regex` to specify a JSON schema with a regular expression.

```python
character_regex = (
    r"""\{\n"""
    + r"""    "name": "[\w\d\s]{1,16}",\n"""
    + r"""    "house": "(Gryffindor|Slytherin|Ravenclaw|Hufflepuff)",\n"""
    + r"""    "blood status": "(Pure-blood|Half-blood|Muggle-born)",\n"""
    + r"""    "occupation": "(student|teacher|auror|ministry of magic|death eater|order of the phoenix)",\n"""
    + r"""    "wand": \{\n"""
    + r"""        "wood": "[\w\d\s]{1,16}",\n"""
    + r"""        "core": "[\w\d\s]{1,16}",\n"""
    + r"""        "length": [0-9]{1,2}\.[0-9]{0,2}\n"""
    + r"""    \},\n"""
    + r"""    "alive": "(Alive|Deceased)",\n"""
    + r"""    "patronus": "[\w\d\s]{1,16}",\n"""
    + r"""    "bogart": "[\w\d\s]{1,16}"\n"""
    + r"""\}"""
)

@sgl.function
def character_gen(s, name):
    s += name + " is a character in Harry Potter. Please fill in the following information about this character.\n"
    s += sgl.gen("json_output", max_tokens=256, regex=character_regex)
```

See also [json_decode.py](examples/usage/json_decode.py) for an additional example on specifying formats with Pydantic models.

#### Batching
Use `run_batch` to run a batch of requests with continuous batching.

```python
@sgl.function
def text_qa(s, question):
    s += "Q: " + question + "\n"
    s += "A:" + sgl.gen("answer", stop="\n")

states = text_qa.run_batch(
    [
        {"question": "What is the capital of the United Kingdom?"},
        {"question": "What is the capital of France?"},
        {"question": "What is the capital of Japan?"},
    ],
    progress_bar=True
)
```

#### Streaming
Add `stream=True` to enable streaming.

```python
@sgl.function
def text_qa(s, question):
    s += "Q: " + question + "\n"
    s += "A:" + sgl.gen("answer", stop="\n")

state = text_qa.run(
    question="What is the capital of France?",
    temperature=0.1,
    stream=True
)

for out in state.text_iter():
    print(out, end="", flush=True)
```

#### Roles

Use `sgl.system`， `sgl.user` and `sgl.assistant` to set roles when using Chat models. You can also define more complex role prompts using begin and end tokens.

```python
@sgl.function
def chat_example(s):
    s += sgl.system("You are a helpful assistant.")
    # Same as: s += s.system("You are a helpful assistant.")

    with s.user():
        s += "Question: What is the capital of France?"

    s += sgl.assistant_begin()
    s += "Answer: " + sgl.gen(max_tokens=100, stop="\n")
    s += sgl.assistant_end()
```

#### Tips and Implementation Details
- The `choices` argument in `sgl.gen` is implemented by computing the [token-length normalized log probabilities](https://blog.eleuther.ai/multiple-choice-normalization/) of all choices and selecting the one with the highest probability.
- The `regex` argument in `sgl.gen` is implemented through autoregressive decoding with logit bias masking, according to the constraints set by the regex. It is compatible with `temperature=0` and `temperature != 0`.
