LLM inference engines include vLLM, llama.cpp, TensorRT-LLM, and SGLang.

Summary

The main software tools used to actually run a large language model and produce output are vLLM, llama.cpp, TensorRT-LLM, and SGLang. This matters because it defines the set of engines the system recognizes when reasoning about model deployment, performance trade-offs, or compatibility, so any downstream claims about inference can be checked against a known, bounded landscape.
