👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

Summary of Changes

Hello @elaineyz, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request primarily focuses on updating the documentation related to AWS Neuron integration within vLLM. The changes aim to provide up-to-date information regarding Neuron SDK versions, installation procedures, and supported features, ensuring users have accurate guidance for deploying vLLM on AWS Neuron hardware.

Highlights

  • Documentation Update for AWS Neuron SDK: Updated the aws_neuron.md documentation to reflect the latest AWS Neuron SDK 2.24, clarifying its support on a dedicated AWS Neuron fork of vLLM.
  • Installation Instructions and Features: Revised installation instructions for Neuron 2.23 libraries in the main vLLM branch and introduced new installation steps for the Neuron 2.24 fork, highlighting its support for prefix caching and disaggregated inference.
  • Documentation Structure and Clarity: Reordered navigation and platform listings to prioritize AWS Neuron documentation and removed outdated limitations regarding multi-modal and multi-node support, improving the accuracy of the documentation.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Neuron documentation to reflect changes in Neuron SDK 2.24, including distinguishing between features supported in vLLM main (SDK 2.23) and those in the AWS Neuron fork (SDK 2.24). The changes also reorder some navigation and list items for consistency. One potential issue was identified regarding an updated file path in the installation instructions for the AWS Neuron fork, which could lead to installation failures if the corresponding file structure in the external repository is not as implied by the change.
