# Vllm Xpu Run

> Serve a Hugging Face safetensors model on an Intel GPU with upstream vLLM-XPU's OpenAI-compatible API. Covers image choice, container launch, the right vllm serve flags (dtype, enforce-eager, model-impl fallback, attention backend, quant + KV-cache pairing), and the transformers-backend fallback for unsupported architectures. Use for /v1/chat/completions or /v1/completions on an Intel GPU. Not for pure PyTorch without a server (use torch-xpu-run), throughput numbers (use vllm-xpu-bench), or NVID
