About FlexGen
FlexGen is an open-source Python library for running large language models on a single GPU, optimized for throughput-oriented inference scenarios. It leverages memory and computation management techniques to maximize the number of tokens generated per second on constrained hardware.
Best for
Developers who need to run large language models at high throughput on a single GPU, especially in budget-constrained or research environments
Use cases
- Serving high-throughput LLM applications on a single GPU
- Benchmarking throughput limits of LLM inference on consumer hardware
- Prototyping resource-efficient LLM deployments
