--- **Ray Summit CPF is Open (June 4th to June 20th)!** There will be a track for vLLM at the Ray Summit (09/30-10/02, SF) this year! If you have cool projects related to vLLM or LLM inference, we would love to see your proposals. This will be a great chance for everyone in the community to get together and learn. Please submit your proposal [here](https://raysummit.anyscale.com/flow/anyscale/raysummit2024/landing/page/eventsite) --- *Latest News* 🔥 - [2024/06] We hosted [the fourth vLLM meetup](https://lu.ma/agivllm) with Cloudflare and BentoML!
