Serving Gemma4 with Rust on vLLM 🦀
This tutorial walks through installing and setting up the Rust toolchain for vLLM on an AWS EC2 G5g instance — Graviton2 (aarch64) with an NVIDIA T4G GPU — and getting vLLM's Rust frontend ( vllm-rs ) built, running, and verified . This paper is a follow-on to the original G5g Gemma 4 build. Everything below was run on the box. 🦀 Wait, vLLM has Rust in it? You betcha. Since PR #40848 (merged…
This tutorial explains how to install and set up the Rust toolchain for vLLM on an AWS EC2 G5g instance with a aarch64 (Graviton2) processor and NVIDIA T4G GPU. vLLM, a Rust frontend, now requires Rust for building, and the tutorial covers the steps to install and configure the necessary tools. Three key points to note are: 1) the Rust toolchain is essential for building vLLM, 2) setuptools_rust is needed for building Rust artifacts, and 3) protoc, the CUDA toolkit, and NVIDIA driver must also be installed to support vLLM's functionality.
