  README, read for a paid tier, an enterprise edition or a licence-gated build beside the published source, and for whether any component is stated to be private.

GitHub stars are LightLLM's only adoption signal. A `lightllm` package exists on PyPI, but it publishes no repository link, so it could not be confirmed as this project's own and is not counted.

LightLLM sits two tiers below vLLM, level with Text Generation Inference, which shares the same feature set: continuous batching, tensor parallelism, Flash Attention and quantization. It is placed there rather than higher because it assembles those techniques rather than publishing a serving record of its own.

  README, read for the engine's feature set: Python-based serving with a lightweight design and horizontal scalability, assembled from FasterTransformer, TGI, vLLM and FlashAttention techniques.
