+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions

+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+              the conditions stated in this License.
+        
+           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+        
+           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+        
+           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

+              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+        
+           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

+              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability

+
+**GuideLLM** is a powerful tool for evaluating and optimizing the deployment of large language models (LLMs). By simulating real-world inference workloads, GuideLLM helps users gauge the performance, resource needs, and cost implications of deploying LLMs on various hardware configurations. This approach ensures efficient, scalable, and cost-effective LLM inference serving while maintaining high service quality.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Performance Evaluation:** Analyze LLM inference under different load scenarios to ensure your system meets your service level objectives (SLOs).
+- **Resource Optimization:** Determine the most suitable hardware configurations for running your models effectively.
+- **Cost Estimation:** Understand the financial impact of different deployment strategies and make informed decisions to minimize costs.
+- **Scalability Testing:** Simulate scaling to handle large numbers of concurrent users without degradation in performance.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Installation
+
+Before installing, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
+
+- OS: Linux or MacOS
+- Python: 3.8 – 3.12
+
+GuideLLM is available on PyPI and is installed using `pip`:
+
+```bash
+pip install guidellm
+```
+
+For detailed installation instructions and requirements, see the [Installation Guide](https://github.com/neuralmagic/guidellm/tree/main/docs/install.md).
+
+### Quick Start
+
+#### 1. Start an OpenAI Compatible Server (vLLM)
+
+GuideLLM requires an OpenAI-compatible server to run evaluations. [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) is recommended for this purpose. To start a vLLM server with a Llama 3.1 8B quantized model, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve "neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16"
+```
+
+For more information on starting a vLLM server, see the [vLLM Documentation](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/serving/openai_compatible_server.html).
+
+#### 2. Run a GuideLLM Evaluation
+
+To run a GuideLLM evaluation, use the `guidellm` command with the appropriate model name and options on the server hosting the model or one with network access to the deployment server. For example, to evaluate the full performance range of the previously deployed Llama 3.1 8B model, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+guidellm \
+  --target "http://localhost:8000/v1" \
+  --model "neuralmagic/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-quantized.w4a16" \
+  --data-type emulated \
+  --data "prompt_tokens=512,generated_tokens=128"
+```
+
+The above command will begin the evaluation and output progress updates similar to the following (if running on a different server, be sure to update the target!): <img src= "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neuralmagic/guidellm/main/docs/assets/sample-benchmarks.gif"/>
+
+Notes:
+
+- The `--target` flag specifies the server hosting the model. In this case, it is a local vLLM server.
+- The `--model` flag specifies the model to evaluate. The model name should match the name of the model deployed on the server
+- By default, GuideLLM will run a `sweep` of performance evaluations across different request rates, each lasting 120 seconds and the results are printed out to the terminal.
+
+#### 3. Analyze the Results
+
+After the evaluation is completed, GuideLLM will summarize the results, including various performance metrics.
+
+The output results will start with a summary of the evaluation, followed by the requests data for each benchmark run. For example, the start of the output will look like the following:
+
+<img alt="Sample GuideLLM benchmark start output" src="https://github.com/neuralmagic/guidellm/blob/main/docs/assets/sample-output-start.png" />
+
+The end of the output will include important performance summary metrics such as request latency, time to first token (TTFT), inter-token latency (ITL), and more:
+
+<img alt="Sample GuideLLM benchmark end output" src="https://github.com/neuralmagic/guidellm/blob/main/docs/assets/sample-output-end.png" />
+
+#### 4. Use the Results
+
+The results from GuideLLM are used to optimize your LLM deployment for performance, resource efficiency, and cost. By analyzing the performance metrics, you can identify bottlenecks, determine the optimal request rate, and select the most cost-effective hardware configuration for your deployment.
+
+For example, if we deploy a latency-sensitive chat application, we likely want to optimize for low time to first token (TTFT) and inter-token latency (ITL). A reasonable threshold will depend on the application requirements. Still, we may want to ensure time to first token (TTFT) is under 200ms and inter-token latency (ITL) is under 50ms (20 updates per second). From the example results above, we can see that the model can meet these requirements on average at a request rate of 2.37 requests per second for each server. If you'd like to target a higher percentage of requests meeting these requirements, you can use the **Performance Stats by Benchmark** section to determine the rate at which 90% or 95% of requests meet these requirements.
+
+If we deploy a throughput-sensitive summarization application, we likely want to optimize for the maximum requests the server can handle per second. In this case, the throughput benchmark shows that the server maxes out at 4.06 requests per second. If we need to handle more requests, consider adding more servers or upgrading the hardware configuration.
+
+### Configurations
+
+GuideLLM provides various CLI and environment options to customize evaluations, including setting the duration of each benchmark run, the number of concurrent requests, and the request rate.
+
+Some typical configurations for the CLI include:
+
+- `--rate-type`: The rate to use for benchmarking. Options include `sweep`, `synchronous`, `throughput`, `constant`, and `poisson`.
+  - `--rate-type sweep`: (default) Sweep runs through the full range of the server's performance, starting with a `synchronous` rate, then `throughput`, and finally, 10 `constant` rates between the min and max request rate found.
+  - `--rate-type synchronous`: Synchronous runs requests synchronously, one after the other.
+  - `--rate-type throughput`: Throughput runs requests in a throughput manner, sending requests as fast as possible.
+  - `--rate-type constant`: Constant runs requests at a constant rate. Specify the request rate per second with the `--rate` argument. For example, `--rate 10` or multiple rates with `--rate 10 --rate 20 --rate 30`.
+  - `--rate-type poisson`: Poisson draws from a Poisson distribution with the mean at the specified rate, adding some real-world variance to the runs. Specify the request rate per second with the `--rate` argument. For example, `--rate 10` or multiple rates with `--rate 10 --rate 20 --rate 30`.
+- `--data-type`: The data to use for the benchmark. Options include `emulated`, `transformers`, and `file`.
+  - `--data-type emulated`: Emulated supports an EmulationConfig in string or file format for the `--data` argument to generate fake data. Specify the number of prompt tokens at a minimum and optionally the number of output tokens and other parameters for variance in the length. For example, `--data "prompt_tokens=128"`, `--data "prompt_tokens=128,generated_tokens=128" `, or `--data "prompt_tokens=128,prompt_tokens_variance=10" `.
+  - `--data-type file`: File supports a file path or URL to a file for the `--data` argument. The file should contain data encoded as a CSV, JSONL, TXT, or JSON/YAML file with a single prompt per line for CSV, JSONL, and TXT or a list of prompts for JSON/YAML. For example, `--data "data.txt"` where data.txt contents are `"prompt1\nprompt2\nprompt3"`.
+  - `--data-type transformers`: Transformers supports a dataset name or file path for the `--data` argument. For example, `--data "neuralmagic/LLM_compression_calibration"`.
+- `--max-seconds`: The maximum number of seconds to run each benchmark. The default is 120 seconds.
+- `--max-requests`: The maximum number of requests to run in each benchmark.
+
+For a complete list of supported CLI arguments, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+guidellm --help
+```
+
+For a full list of configuration options, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+guidellm-config
