SGLang is an open-source inference framework for LLMs and multimodal models, optimized for agentic workloads, RL rollouts, and large-scale serving.

👋 Get started below, or meet the community at SGLang Events, including meetups, developer meetings, workshops, and office hours.

Pull the Docker image, which includes SGLang and its dependencies:

docker pull lmsysorg/sglang:latest

Alternatively, install SGLang in an activated Python environment with uv:

uv pip install --prerelease=allow sglang

Next, launch your model:

• Quickstart: Run your first model and send a request.
• Cookbook: Choose your model and hardware to get a ready-to-run launch command.

SGLang supports a wide range of GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, CPUs, and Apple Silicon platforms.

Integrations in progress: AWS Trainium, Alibaba T-Head PPU, Cambricon MLU, Qualcomm QAIC, MetaX, Hygon HCU/DCU, Iluvatar CoreX, and more.

See the Cookbook and platform guides for model compatibility and setup.

Contributions are welcome, from bug fixes and documentation to model support and performance improvements.

Start from the lmsysorg/sglang:dev Docker image, which provides development tools and most dependencies. Clone or mount your SGLang checkout inside the container, then install it in editable mode from the repository root so tests use your local Python changes:

pip install -e "python"

In an activated virtual environment, you can use uv pip install --prerelease=allow -e "python" instead. See the development guide for container setup and testing.

1. Fork the repository and create a branch for your changes. For larger changes, discuss your proposal in a GitHub issue or on Slack.
2. Make your changes, run the relevant tests, and add regression coverage for fixes or new behavior. Run pre-commit run --all-files before submitting.
3. Open a pull request describing the change and how you tested it. Include benchmarks or accuracy evaluations when relevant.

See the contributor guide for formatting, testing, and pull request instructions. Documentation contributors can start with the docs guide.

SGLang is hosted by LMSYS, a non-profit open-source organization.
