vLLM open-model serving Reference vLLM distributed inference parallelism models and KV-cache state preservation concepts.
ray-serve, anthropic, pydantic. ray-serve models multi-worker replica failover topologies and request re-routing state. Hosted Claude API for runbook generation and risk synthesis; simulation targets open-model serving logic.
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.
Models the exact latency tradeoff between cold-restart re-prefill versus snapshot KV-cache loading.
Identifies cluster failover capacity deficits that risk dropping client queries.
Exports structured migration schedules that maintain service availability above 99 percent.
