vLLM vs SGLang vs Ollama vs llama.cpp: Choose the Inference Engine by Workload

Choosing an inference engine is broader than asking which is fastest. Model format, GPU count, VRAM, quantization, concurrency, API standards, deployment complexity and latency targets make different engines preferable for different workloads.

Which inference engine fits which workload?

Broadly, vLLM and SGLang are strong for high-throughput multi-GPU production serving, Ollama for simple local/self-hosted model management, and llama.cpp for GGUF quantization plus broad CPU/GPU hybrid hardware support. Final selection should be benchmarked with the same model, context and concurrency.

Fair benchmark

Do not compare engines with different models or contexts

Use the same model revision/quantization, context, output tokens, concurrency and GPU. Record TTFT, TPOT, throughput, VRAM and error rate together.

Do not make the inference port your public gateway regardless of engine

Manage TLS, authentication, quotas, rate limits, request logs and tenant policies at a separate gateway/reverse proxy. Do not expose engine health/metrics endpoints publicly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is vLLM or SGLang faster?

It depends on model, GPU, context and concurrency. Benchmark TTFT/TPOT/throughput on the same workload.

Can Ollama be used in production?

Yes, with careful concurrency, queue, context and API-security planning. Large multi-GPU serving may favor vLLM/SGLang.

Why choose llama.cpp?

GGUF quantization, broad hardware backends and CPU+GPU hybrid inference make it strong on constrained or heterogeneous hardware.
