SGLang is a high-performance serving framework for large language models and multimodal models.
It is designed to deliver low-latency and high-throughput inference across a wide range of setups, from a single GPU to large distributed clusters.
Its core features include:

- **Fast Runtime**: Provides efficient serving with RadixAttention for prefix caching, a zero-overhead CPU scheduler, prefill-decode disaggregation, speculative decoding, continuous batching, paged attention, tensor/pipeline/expert/data parallelism, structured outputs, chunked prefill, quantization (FP4/FP8/INT4/AWQ/GPTQ), and multi-LoRA batching.
- **Broad Model Support**: Supports a wide range of language models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, GPT, Gemma, Mistral, etc.), embedding models (e5-mistral, gte, mcdse), reward models (Skywork), and diffusion models (WAN, Qwen-Image), with easy extensibility for adding new models. Compatible with most Hugging Face models and OpenAI APIs.
- **Extensive Hardware Support**: Runs on NVIDIA GPUs (GB200/B300/H100/A100/Spark/5090), AMD GPUs (MI355/MI300), Intel Xeon CPUs, Google TPUs, Ascend NPUs, and more.
- **Active Community**: SGLang is open-source and supported by a vibrant community with widespread industry adoption, powering over 400,000 GPUs worldwide.
- **RL & Post-Training Backbone**: SGLang is a proven rollout backend used for training many frontier models, with native RL integrations and adoption by well-known post-training frameworks such as AReaL, Miles, slime, Tunix, verl and more.
