vllm launch render

Overview

vllm launch render starts a GPU-less rendering server for preprocessing and postprocessing only.

vllm launch render meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct --port 8100

This command reuses the standard serving parser, so model, frontend, networking, and related CLI options follow the same conventions as vllm serve.
