ZML
ZMLZML is a production inference stack built in Zig on MLIR and Bazel, compiling models directly for NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TPU and Trainium so that a workload is not tied to one vendor's accelerator.

Adoption
2 low confidenceThe `zml` package on PyPI is an unrelated project called Zero Markup Language, so no package artifact is declared for ZML. GitHub stars are the only adoption signal available as a result.

Capability
4 medium confidenceZML sits one tier below vLLM. Its hardware reach is broader than most engines here, but it compiles and executes models rather than providing the batching, paged attention and OpenAI-compatible serving surface that vLLM is rated on.

README, read for the engine's feature set: Ahead-of-time compilation of a model to a target accelerator across NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TPU and Trainium, from one stack.
