Inference is the critical execution engine of AI, where pre-trained models translate data into real-

world impact. It’s the pivotal point of user interaction, demanding swift and accurate responses. As

gen AI models explode in complexity and production deployments scale, inference can become a

significant bottleneck, devouring hardware resources and threatening to cripple responsiveness and

inflate operational costs. Robust inference servers are no longer a luxury, but a necessity for

unlocking the true potential of AI at scale, navigating underlying complexities with greater ease.

Red Hat directly addresses these challenges with Red Hat AI Inference Server — an open inference
solution engineered for high performance and equipped with leading model compression and

optimization tools. This innovation empowers organizations to fully tap into the transformative

power of gen AI by delivering dramatically more responsive user experiences and unparalleled

freedom in their choice of AI accelerators, models and IT environments.

LLM: Extending inference innovation

Red Hat AI Inference Server builds on the industry-leading vLLM project, which was started by

University of California, Berkeley in mid-2023. The community project delivers high-throughput

gen AI inference, support for large input context, multi-GPU model acceleration, support for

continuous batching and more.

LLM’s broad support for publicly available models – coupled with its day zero integration of

leading frontier models including DeepSeek, Gemma, Llama, Llama Nemotron, Mistral, Phi and
others, as well as open, enterprise-grade reasoning models like Llama Nemotron – positions it as a

de facto standard for future AI inference innovation. Leading frontier model providers are

increasingly embracing vLLM, solidifying its critical role in shaping gen AI’s future.

Introducing Red Hat AI Inference Server

Red Hat AI Inference Server packages the leading innovation of vLLM and forges it into the

enterprise-grade capabilities of Red Hat AI Inference Server. Red Hat AI Inference Server is

available as a standalone containerized offering or as part of both RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift

AI.
