Today we are excited to announce, in partnership with the GKE team at Google Cloud (@googlecloud), a major milestone in Ray Serve LLM’s production serving capability. Ray Serve LLM now matches high performance, rust-based routing frameworks such as vllm-router (@vllm_project) in benchmarks across a variety of workloads and deployment patterns.
In Ray 2.56, we see up to 4x higher request throughput on prefill-heavy workloads, and 24x higher request throughput on decode-heavy workloads
