  • Thank you for taking the time to respond.

    I’ve used vLLM for hosting a smaller model which could fit in two of GPUs, it was very performant especially for multiple requests at the same time. The major drawback for my setup was that it only supports tensor parallelism for 2, 4, 8, etc. GPUs and data paralellism slowed inference down considerably, at least for my cards. exllamav3 is the only engine I’m aware of which support 3-way TP.

    But I’m fully with you in that vLLM seems to be the most recommended and battle-tested solution.

    I might take a look at how I can safely upgrade the driver until I can afford a fourth card and switch back to vLLM.























  • It really depends on how much you enjoy to set things up for yourself and how much it hurts you to give up control over your data with managed solutions.

    If you want to do it yourself, I recommend taking a look at ZFS and its RAIDZ configurations, snapshots and replication capabilities. It’s probably the most solid setup you will achieve, but possibly also a bit complicated to wrap your head around at first.

    But there are a ton of options as beautifully represented by all the comments.
