A self-hosted vLLM server exposing an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, selected with LLM_PROVIDER=vllm, used to extract facts from conversations.

bash
LLM_PROVIDER=vllm
OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1
OPENAI_LLM_MODEL=Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
# No API key: vLLM is served locally with no auth.

Configuration

VariableDefaultDescription

OPENAI_BASE_URLhttps://api.openai.com/v1Point at your vLLM server: http://localhost:8000/v1.

Notes

  • OpenAI-compatible: the provider reuses the OpenAI request handling and only differs by base URL and model.
  • The provider also reads VLLM_BASE_URL as its own base-URL fallback (default http://localhost:8000/v1).
  • Local server with no authentication, so no API key is needed.
