Steps Install vllm and start the server with vllm serve <model-name-or-path> Set --host and --port to override the default localhost:8000 bind address Secure the endpoint with --api-key, since the API is unauthenticated by default Send requests to /v1/chat/completions or /v1/completions using any OpenAI-compatible client pointed at base_url http://<host>:<port>/v1 Run vllm serve --help to check flags for your installed version, since CLI options have changed across vLLM releases Known gotchas vllm serve is the current recommended entrypoint; older 'python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server' examples come from earlier versions The API has no authentication unless you explicitly set --api-key /v1/chat/completions requires a resolvable chat template; base or non-instruct models without one need an explicit --chat-template
