Sources

This page ranks the sources of the manual by authority.

Use this page to judge how much weight a statement in the manual carries.

When two sources disagree, the higher one wins, and the page says so.

Rank	Source	What the manual takes from it
1	the vLLM source at release 0.31.0	every default, every flag name, and every mechanism in Part 8
2	our own runs on an NVIDIA L4 and a DGX Spark	every number marked as measured
3	vLLM issues and pull requests	known failures and the history of each feature
4	the vLLM release notes	what each release added, changed, or removed
5	the vLLM documentation at release 0.31.0	documented behavior, checked against the source
6	papers	the original design of PagedAttention and speculative decoding
7	blog posts and talks by the vLLM team and others	context and history, never a default or a number

What we did not use

We did not use benchmark numbers from vendors or from other teams as evidence for a decision. Where the manual reports a result from another team, it names the team once and says that the number is theirs.
