• make additional dependencies group (API, VLLM, ...) optional

pyproject.toml:10

• The numpy version constraint allows versions up to 3.0.0, but numpy 3.0.0 does not exist yet. The latest major version is 2.x. Consider using a more conservative upper bound like "<2.1.0" or "<2.0.0" to avoid potential compatibility issues.

numpy = ">=1.26.0, <3.0.0"
