Engine?Die Inferenz-Software, die das Modell ausliefert (z.B. vLLM oder llama.cpp). Sie bestimmt Geschwindigkeit, unterstuetzte Modellformate und welche Parameter ueberhaupt verfuegbar sind.vllm
Modellalias?Der Name, unter dem das Modell ueber die API angesprochen wird. Genau dieser Wert muss im Request-Feld 'model' stehen.gemma-4-12B-it
Kontextlaenge?Maximale Anzahl Tokens (Eingabe + erzeugte Ausgabe zusammen), die das Modell pro Anfrage verarbeiten kann.8192
Alias?Anzeigename des Modells nach aussen (served model name), unabhaengig vom Dateinamen.gemma-4-12B-it
Kontext?Groesse des Kontextfensters in Token. 0 = der beim Training verwendete Kontext des Modells.8192
GPU-Speicher?Anteil des GPU-Speichers (0 bis 1), den vLLM belegen darf. 0.92 = 92 %. Hoeher = mehr Platz fuer den KV-Cache (mehr/laengere parallele Anfragen), aber groesseres Risiko fuer 'Out of Memory'.0.92
Enforce-Eager?Schaltet die optimierte Graph-Ausfuehrung (CUDA-/HIP-Graphs) AB und rechnet Schritt fuer Schritt. Startet schneller und spart etwas VRAM, ist im laufenden Betrieb aber meist langsamer als mit Graphs.aktiv
limit-mm-per-prompt?Obergrenze fuer multimodale Eingaben pro Prompt (z.B. Anzahl Bilder). Nur fuer multimodale Modelle relevant.{"image":0}
