Configuring vLLM swap_space and cpu_offload_gb for Stable Large-Model Inference
The article explains vLLM’s GPU compute capability requirement, describes the swap_space and cpu_offload_gb parameters, outlines their ideal usage scenarios, and provides step‑by‑step code examples that demonstrate how adjusting these settings enables loading and running a 7B‑parameter model on a 16 GB T4 GPU.
