 ### Notes
+- If you see triton errors, please install the [Triton Nightly](https://triton-lang.org/main/getting-started/installation.html).
+- If you cannot install FlashInfer, 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]"`

-## Flashinfer Mode
-
-[flashinfer](https://github.com/flashinfer-ai/flashinfer) is a kernel library for LLM serving.
-It can be used in SGLang runtime to accelerate attention computation.
-
-### Install flashinfer
-
-See https://docs.flashinfer.ai/installation.html.
-
-### Run a Server With Flashinfer Mode
-
-Add `--enable-flashinfer` argument to enable flashinfer when launching a server.
-
-Example:
-
-```bash
-python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf --port 30000 --enable-flashinfer
-```
