* feat(vllm): expose AsyncEngineArgs via generic engine_args YAML map
LocalAI's vLLM backend wraps a small typed subset of vLLM's
AsyncEngineArgs (quantization, tensor_parallel_size, dtype, etc.).
Anything outside that subset -- pipeline/data/expert parallelism,
speculative_config, kv_transfer_config, all2all_backend, prefix
caching, chunked prefill, etc. -- requires a new protobuf field, a
Go struct field, an options.go line, and a backend.py mapping per
feature. That cadence is the bottleneck on shipping vLLM's
production feature set.
Add a generic `engine_args:` map on the model YAML that is
JSON-serialised into a new ModelOptions.EngineArgs proto field and
applied verbatim to AsyncEngineArgs at LoadModel time. Validation
is done by the Python backend via dataclasses.fields(); unknown
keys fail with the closest valid name as a hint.
dataclasses.replace() is used so vLLM's __post_init__ re-runs and
auto-converts dict values into nested config dataclasses
(CompilationConfig, AttentionConfig, ...). speculative_config and
kv_transfer_config flow through as dicts; vLLM converts them at
engine init.
Operators can now write:
engine_args:
data_parallel_size: 8
enable_expert_parallel: true
all2all_backend: deepep_low_latency
speculative_config:
method: deepseek_mtp
num_speculative_tokens: 3
kv_cache_dtype: fp8
without further proto/Go/Python plumbing per field.
Production defaults seeded by hooks_vllm.go: enable_prefix_caching
and enable_chunked_prefill default to true unless explicitly set.
Existing typed YAML fields (gpu_memory_utilization,
tensor_parallel_size, etc.) remain for back-compat; engine_args
overrides them when both are set.

* chore(vllm): pin cublas13 to vLLM 0.20.0 cu130 wheel
vLLM's PyPI wheel is built against CUDA 12 (libcudart.so.12) and won't
load on a cu130 host. Switch the cublas13 build to vLLM's per-tag cu130
simple-index (https://wheels.vllm.ai/0.20.0/cu130/) and pin
vllm==0.20.0. The cu130-flavoured wheel ships libcudart.so.13 and
includes the DFlash speculative-decoding method that landed in 0.20.0.
cublas13 install gets --index-strategy=unsafe-best-match so uv consults
both the cu130 index and PyPI when resolving — PyPI also publishes
vllm==0.20.0, but with cu12 binaries that error at import time.
Verified: Qwen3.5-4B + z-lab/Qwen3.5-4B-DFlash loads and serves chat
completions on RTX 5070 Ti (sm_120, cu130).

* ci(vllm): bot job to bump cublas13 vLLM wheel pin
vLLM's cu130 wheel index URL is itself version-locked
(wheels.vllm.ai/<TAG>/cu130/, no /latest/ alias upstream), so a vLLM
bump means rewriting two values atomically — the URL segment and the
version constraint. bump_deps.sh handles git-sha-in-Makefile only;
add a sibling bump_vllm_wheel.sh and a matching workflow job that
mirrors the existing matrix's PR-creation pattern.
The bumper queries /releases/latest (which excludes prereleases),
strips the leading 'v', and seds both lines unconditionally. When the
file is already on the latest tag the rewrite is a no-op and
peter-evans/create-pull-request opens no PR.

* docs(vllm): document engine_args and speculative decoding
The new engine_args: map plumbs arbitrary AsyncEngineArgs through to
vLLM, but the public docs only covered the basic typed fields. Add a
short subsection in the vLLM section explaining the typed/generic
split and showing a worked DFlash speculative-decoding config, with
pointers to vLLM's SpeculativeConfig reference and z-lab's drafter
collection.

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS
npm install
Running the website locally
Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo.
You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our
Getting started guide.
Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:
hugo server
Running a container locally
You can run docsy-example inside a Docker
container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example
folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other
than Docker Desktop on
Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose
on Linux.
-
Build the docker image
docker-compose build -
Run the built image
docker-compose upNOTE: You can run both commands at once with
docker-compose up --build. -
Verify that the service is working.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost:1313in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.
Cleanup
To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.
To remove the produced images run:
docker-compose rm
For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.
Troubleshooting
As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:
➜ hugo server
INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file:
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.
Or you may encounter the following error:
➜ hugo server
Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found
This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system.
