Description

Feature Objective:
Set vLLM as the default serving framework on Gaudi for all remaining GenAI examples to leverage its optimized performance characteristics, thereby improving throughput and reducing latency in inference tasks.

Feature Details:

Replace TGI with vLLM as the default serving backend for inference on Gaudi devices.
Update serving configurations to align with vLLM's architecture for inference.
Perform performance benchmarking to validate vLLM's superiority in terms of TTFT, TPOT and scalability on Gaudi hardware.

Expected Outcome:
Adopting vLLM as the default framework improves the user experience by significantly lowering latency while exceeding the current TGI throughput levels on Gaudi.
