Key point

Lemonade has added a vLLM ROCm experimental backend.

Details

Lemonade has added vLLM ROCm as an experimental backend.

It provides a new engine that handles .safetensors-based LLMs directly before GGUF conversion, and installation and execution are possible with the following commands.

  • lemonade backends install vllm:rocm
  • lemonade run Qwen3.5-0.8B-vLLM

Currently it is an experimental backend with only core functionality implemented, so known rough edges remain. A quick start guide and GitHub repository have also been released together.
