🌅 導言：一個影響數百萬美元的遷移決策

在 AI 基礎設施的遷移中，從 TGI 到 vLLM/SGLang 是一個影響數百萬美元的關鍵決策。

為什麼現在必須遷移？

TGI 已進入維護模式：2025-12-11，Hugging Face 官方公告 TGI 進入維護階段
成本壓力：推理成本可占運營成本的 70-90%
性能需求：每天數百萬次查詢的規模要求更高吞吐量
生產部署：Stripe 案例：遷移後推理成本降低 73%，GPU 數量減少到 1/3

本文將提供從 TGI 到 vLLM/SGLang 的完整遷移策略，包括：

為什麼現在必須遷移
TGI 的技術瓶頸
vLLM/SGLang 的優勢
實戰遷移步驟
性能對比案例
常見陷阱與解決方案

🔍 TGI 的技術瓶頸：為什麼需要遷移？

1. KV Cache 內存碎片化

問題：TGI 使用靜態內存預留

為每個請求預留最大序列長度的連續內存塊
浪費 60-80% 的 GPU 內存
限制並發請求數量

對比：

TGI (2025年):
- 最大序列：32k tokens
- 當前請求：2k tokens
- 內存預留：32k tokens（浪費 60%）

vLLM (2026年):
- 動態分配，按需增長
- 內存跟隨實際序列長度
- 內存使用率 < 4%

2. 靜態批處理的頭部阻塞

問題：TGI 使用靜態批處理

必須等待整個批次完成才能開始下一批次
短查詢被長查詢阻塞
GPU 利用率低於 30%

解決方案：vLLM 的 Continuous Batching

在每次解碼步驟監控批次
立即釋放完成的序列並拉取新請求
GPU 利用率可達 80-90%

3. 硬件多樣性支持不足

問題：TGI 主要針對 NVIDIA GPU

AMD MI300、Intel GPU 支持有限
Edge CPU 模型部署困難
2026 年硬件多樣性需求激增

解決方案：vLLM/SGLang 的硬件無關架構

真正的硬件無關設計
支持 NVIDIA、AMD、Intel GPU
支持 Edge CPU 模型

🚀 vLLM vs SGLang：選擇哪一個？

vLLM 的優勢

📋 實戰遷移步驟

第一步：評估當前 TGI 部署

檢查清單：

# 1. 檢查當前 TGI 版本和配置
docker ps | grep tgi
docker logs tgi-container --tail=100

# 2. 分析請求模式
# - 查詢長度分布
# - 並發請求數
# - 平均響應時間
# - GPU 利用率

# 3. 收集性能基準
# - 最大吞吐量
# - P99 延遲
# - GPU 內存使用率

數據收集範例：

# 使用 Prometheus 監控
# - tgi_requests_total
# - tgi_latency_seconds
# - tgi_gpu_utilization

第二步：準備 vLLM/SGLang 部署

vLLM 部署配置：

# 安裝 vLLM
pip install vllm

# 啟動 vLLM 服務
vllm serve <model_name> \
  --port 8000 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
  --max-num-seqs 256 \
  --max-model-len 4096

SGLang 部署配置：

# 安裝 SGLang
pip install sglang

# 啟動 SGLang 服務
python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model <model_name> \
  --port 8000 \
  --host 0.0.0.0

第三步：性能對比測試

測試腳本：

# benchmark.py
import time
import requests

def benchmark(url, model, num_requests=1000):
    start = time.time()
    for i in range(num_requests):
        response = requests.post(url, json={"prompt": "Hello, world!"})
        if response.status_code != 200:
            raise Exception(f"Request {i} failed")
    return time.time() - start

# vLLM benchmark
vllm_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8000/v1/completions", "vllm")

# SGLang benchmark
sglang_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8000/generate", "sglang")

# TGI benchmark (舊部署)
tgi_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8080/generate", "tgi")

print(f"vLLM: {vllm_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")
print(f"SGLang: {sglang_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")
print(f"TGI: {tgi_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")

預期結果：

vLLM：吞吐量提升 2-5 倍
SGLang：吞吐量提升 3-6 倍
GPU 內存使用率：從 60-80% 降低到 30-40%

第四步：代碼調整與適配

API 對照表：

TGI API	vLLM API	SGLang API
`/generate`	`/v1/completions`	`/generate`
`max_new_tokens`	`max_tokens`	`max_new_tokens`
`temperature`	`temperature`	`temperature`
`top_p`	`top_p`	`top_p`
`stop`	`stop`	`stop`

遷移示例：

# TGI 過時代碼
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8080/generate",
    json={
        "inputs": "Hello, world!",
        "parameters": {
            "max_new_tokens": 128,
            "temperature": 0.7,
            "stop": ["\n"]
        }
    }
)

# vLLM 遷移後代碼
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions",
    json={
        "model": "your-model",
        "prompt": "Hello, world!",
        "max_tokens": 128,
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "stop": ["\n"]
    }
)

第五步：監控與優化

監控指標：

# prometheus.yml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'vllm'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

  - job_name: 'sglang'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

優化策略：

調整 gpu_memory_utilization：0.85-0.95
調整 max_num_seqs：根據並發請求
啟用 speculative_decoding：提升 2-3 倍吞吐量
啟用 prefix_caching：減少重複查詢的 TTT（Time-to-First-Token）

💰 成本分析：遷移帶來的節省

Stripe 案例研究

背景：

每天處理 5000 萬次調用
使用 Hugging Face Transformers

遷移結果：

✅ 推理成本降低 73%
✅ GPU 數量減少到 1/3
✅ 並發請求數量提升 5 倍

成本對比：

TGI 部署（舊）：
- GPU 數量：100 顆
- 每顆成本：$10,000/月
- 月成本：$1,000,000

vLLM 遷移後：
- GPU 數量：33 顆（1/3）
- 每顆成本：$10,000/月
- 月成本：$330,000

節省：$670,000/月
年節省：$8,040,000

通用估算公式

成本節省 ≈ (舊 GPU 數量 - 新 GPU 數量) × GPU 成本

示例：
舊：100 GPU × $10,000 = $1,000,000
新：30 GPU × $10,000 = $300,000
節省：$700,000/月

⚠️ 常見陷阱與解決方案

🌅 Introduction: A Migration Decision That Impacted Millions of Dollars

In the migration of AI infrastructure, TGI to vLLM/SGLang is a critical decision affecting millions of dollars.

**Why is it necessary to migrate now? **

TGI has entered maintenance mode: 2025-12-11, Hugging Face official announcement that TGI has entered maintenance stage
Cost Pressure: Inference costs can account for 70-90% of operating costs
Performance Requirements: The scale of millions of queries per day requires higher throughput
Production deployment: Stripe case: Inference costs reduced by 73% after migration, and the number of GPUs was reduced to 1/3

This article will provide a complete migration strategy from TGI to vLLM/SGLang, including:

Why you must migrate now
Technical bottlenecks of TGI
Advantages of vLLM/SGLang
Practical migration steps
Performance comparison case
Common pitfalls and solutions

🔍 TGI’s technical bottleneck: Why does it need to be migrated?

1. KV Cache memory fragmentation

Issue: TGI uses static memory reservations

Reserve a contiguous memory block of maximum sequence length for each request
Wastes 60-80% of GPU memory
Limit the number of concurrent requests

Comparison:

TGI (2025年):
- 最大序列：32k tokens
- 當前請求：2k tokens
- 內存預留：32k tokens（浪費 60%）

vLLM (2026年):
- 動態分配，按需增長
- 內存跟隨實際序列長度
- 內存使用率 < 4%

2. Head blocking of static batch processing

Issue: TGI uses static batching

Must wait for the entire batch to complete before starting the next batch
Short queries are blocked by long queries
GPU utilization below 30%

Solution: Continuous Batching for vLLM

Monitor batches at each decoding step
Immediately release completed sequences and pull new requests
GPU utilization can reach 80-90%

3. Insufficient hardware diversity support

Question: TGI is primarily targeted at NVIDIA GPUs

Limited support for AMD MI300, Intel GPU
Edge CPU model deployment is difficult
Demand for hardware diversity surges in 2026

Solution: Hardware-agnostic architecture for vLLM/SGLang

True hardware-independent design -Support NVIDIA, AMD, Intel GPU
Supports Edge CPU model

🚀 vLLM vs SGLang: Which one to choose?

Advantages of vLLM

Rapid deployment + OpenAI compatibility	vLLM	Single command startup, easy migration
High-performance inference	SGLang	FlashInfer optimization
High Concurrency Chatbot	vLLM	Continuous Batching Advantages
Mixed model architecture	SGLang	More flexible model combination
Existing Python Services	vLLM	Native Python, easy to integrate

📋 Practical migration steps

Step One: Assess Current TGI Deployment

CHECKLIST:

# 1. 檢查當前 TGI 版本和配置
docker ps | grep tgi
docker logs tgi-container --tail=100

# 2. 分析請求模式
# - 查詢長度分布
# - 並發請求數
# - 平均響應時間
# - GPU 利用率

# 3. 收集性能基準
# - 最大吞吐量
# - P99 延遲
# - GPU 內存使用率

Data Collection Example:

# 使用 Prometheus 監控
# - tgi_requests_total
# - tgi_latency_seconds
# - tgi_gpu_utilization

Step 2: Prepare vLLM/SGLang deployment

vLLM deployment configuration:

# 安裝 vLLM
pip install vllm

# 啟動 vLLM 服務
vllm serve <model_name> \
  --port 8000 \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 \
  --max-num-seqs 256 \
  --max-model-len 4096

SGLang deployment configuration:

# 安裝 SGLang
pip install sglang

# 啟動 SGLang 服務
python -m sglang.launch_server \
  --model <model_name> \
  --port 8000 \
  --host 0.0.0.0

Step 3: Performance comparison test

Test Script:

# benchmark.py
import time
import requests

def benchmark(url, model, num_requests=1000):
    start = time.time()
    for i in range(num_requests):
        response = requests.post(url, json={"prompt": "Hello, world!"})
        if response.status_code != 200:
            raise Exception(f"Request {i} failed")
    return time.time() - start

# vLLM benchmark
vllm_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8000/v1/completions", "vllm")

# SGLang benchmark
sglang_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8000/generate", "sglang")

# TGI benchmark (舊部署)
tgi_time = benchmark("http://localhost:8080/generate", "tgi")

print(f"vLLM: {vllm_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")
print(f"SGLang: {sglang_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")
print(f"TGI: {tgi_time:.2f}s for {num_requests} requests")

Expected results:

vLLM: Throughput increased by 2-5 times
SGLang: Throughput increased by 3-6 times
GPU memory usage: reduced from 60-80% to 30-40%

Step 4: Code adjustment and adaptation

API comparison table:

TGI API	vLLM API	SGLang API
`/generate`	`/v1/completions`	`/generate`
`max_new_tokens`	`max_tokens`	`max_new_tokens`
`temperature`	`temperature`	`temperature`
`top_p`	`top_p`	`top_p`
`stop`	`stop`	`stop`

Migration Example:

# TGI 過時代碼
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8080/generate",
    json={
        "inputs": "Hello, world!",
        "parameters": {
            "max_new_tokens": 128,
            "temperature": 0.7,
            "stop": ["\n"]
        }
    }
)

# vLLM 遷移後代碼
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8000/v1/completions",
    json={
        "model": "your-model",
        "prompt": "Hello, world!",
        "max_tokens": 128,
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "stop": ["\n"]
    }
)

Step 5: Monitoring and Optimization

Monitoring indicators:

# prometheus.yml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'vllm'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

  - job_name: 'sglang'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:8000']
    metrics_path: '/metrics'

Optimization Strategy:

Adjusted gpu_memory_utilization: 0.85-0.95
Adjust max_num_seqs: based on concurrent requests
Enable speculative_decoding: improve throughput by 2-3 times
Enable prefix_caching: Reduce TTT (Time-to-First-Token) for repeated queries

💰 Cost Analysis: Savings from Migration

Stripe Case Study

Background:

Processes 50 million calls per day
Use Hugging Face Transformers

Migration results:

✅ Reasoning cost reduced by 73%
✅ Number of GPUs reduced to 1/3
✅ The number of concurrent requests increased 5 times

Cost comparison:

TGI 部署（舊）：
- GPU 數量：100 顆
- 每顆成本：$10,000/月
- 月成本：$1,000,000

vLLM 遷移後：
- GPU 數量：33 顆（1/3）
- 每顆成本：$10,000/月
- 月成本：$330,000

節省：$670,000/月
年節省：$8,040,000

General estimation formula

成本節省 ≈ (舊 GPU 數量 - 新 GPU 數量) × GPU 成本

示例：
舊：100 GPU × $10,000 = $1,000,000
新：30 GPU × $10,000 = $300,000
節省：$700,000/月

⚠️ Common pitfalls and solutions

Trap 1: Ignoring the KV Cache allocation strategy

Question:

Unadjusted gpu_memory_utilization caused memory overflow
max_num_seqs is set too low to limit concurrency

Solution:

# 適當提高 GPU 內存利用率
--gpu-memory-utilization 0.92

# 根據並發需求調整
--max-num-seqs 512

Trap 2: Ignoring Quantization Support Options

Question:

Out of memory when using FP16
Ignore the performance penalty caused by quantization

Solution:

# 使用量化模型
vllm serve <model> \
  --quantization gptq \
  --dtype auto

Trap 3: Ignoring API differences

Question:

Directly replacing the API path results in an error
Ignore parameter name differences

Solution:

Use API lookup table
Gradually migrate, test first and then go online
Keep TGI as a backup

Trap 4: Ignore monitoring

Question:

Performance degradation after migration was not discovered in time
GPU utilization is too low and not optimized

Solution:

# 實時監控
watch -n 1 'curl -s localhost:8000/metrics | grep gpu_utilization'

# 設置警報
# - GPU 利用率 < 30%
# - P99 延遲 > 1s
# - 內存使用率 > 90%
