How To Build Your Own LLM Runtime From Scratch

If you have ever wanted to actually build an LLM inference runtime yourself — pack your own weights, own every barrier, capture your own CUDA graphs — this is what that journey looks like on an H100. A step-by-step tour of a small runtime called annotated-llm-runtime, and the three bugs that produced most of the annotations.

Flama: a Python framework for development and deployment of production-ready APIs, machine learning, and LLM services

Flama is an open‑source Python framework that unifies the development and deployment of production‑ready web APIs, machine‑learning services, and large‑language‑model (LLM) applications. Built on ASGI, it offers an async‑first, type‑driven programming model with seven subsystems—including dependency injection, a pluggable schema layer, automatic CRUD generation, a portable binary model format, a multi‑backend LLM server, a Rust‑accelerated core, and a Model Context Protocol module. The framework also provides built‑in JWT authentication, pagination, background tasks, WebSocket and streaming support, OpenAPI generation, and a CLI for running, packaging, and inspecting models.
