TokenSpeed is a high-performance LLM inference engine designed for agentic workloads, aiming for TensorRT-LLM-level performance with vLLM-level usability. It features a compiler-backed SPMD modeling layer, a C++/Python scheduler with type-safe KV cache reuse, pluggable kernels, and an AsyncLLM entrypoint.

Use cases

  • serve large language models at maximum throughput
  • run inference for agentic coding workloads
  • deploy frontier models like Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek, and GLM on day 0
  • run FP4 inference on NVIDIA Blackwell and AMD accelerators
  • avoid hand-writing tensor parallelism and collective communication code
  • serve multi-hundred-billion parameter MoE models efficiently

When to choose

  • you need maximum tokens-per-second for production agentic LLM serving
  • you run modern datacenter GPUs like NVIDIA B200/GB300 or AMD MI355X/MI455X
  • you want vLLM-like usability with compiler-generated parallelism
  • you need day-0 support for the latest frontier open models

When to avoid

  • you only need lightweight local inference on consumer hardware
  • you need broad CPU-only or edge-device support
  • you require a long-stable, battle-tested engine with extensive ecosystem tooling
  • your stack depends on features specific to vLLM or TensorRT-LLM
