For high-volume production workloads, hosting open-weights models like LLaMA 3.3 or DeepSeek on dedicated cloud GPUs offers massive cost savings over proprietary APIs.
1. Throughput: vLLM PagedAttention
vLLM delivers up to 15x higher request throughput than single-stream runners by efficiently managing KV cache memory fragmentation across concurrent users.
2. Developer Ergonomics: Ollama Local CLI
For rapid local prototyping and single-user development, Ollama remains the most frictionless tool for launching GGUF quantized models with one terminal command.
