# Examples

vLLM's examples are organized into the following categories:

- **[`basic/`](../../examples/basic)** – Minimal examples for offline inference and online serving.
- **[`generate/`](../../examples/generate)** – Text generation examples, including multimodal models.
- **[`pooling/`](../../examples/pooling)** – Examples for embedding, classification, scoring, reward, etc.
- **[`speech_to_text/`](../../examples/speech_to_text)** – Speech transcription, translation and real-time audio examples.
- **[`features/`](../../examples/features)** – Demonstrations of individual vLLM features: automatic prefix caching, speculative decoding, LoRA, structured outputs, prompt embedding, pause/resume, batch invariance, KV events, data parallelism, and more.
- **[`reasoning/`](../../examples/reasoning)** – Examples for reasoning with vLLM.
- **[`tool_calling/`](../../examples/tool_calling)** – Examples for function/tool calling with vLLM.
- **[`applications/`](../../examples/applications)** – Application examples such as simpler api server, chatbots and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).
- **[`rl/`](../../examples/rl)** – Reinforcement learning examples.
- **[`deployment/`](../../examples/deployment)** – Examples for deploying vLLM in production.
- **[`ray_serving/`](../../examples/ray_serving)** – Scalable serving using Ray.
- **[`disaggregated/`](../../examples/disaggregated)** – Examples for disaggregated serving (separate prefill and decode), including various kv cache connectors (LMCache, Mooncake, FlexKV, P2P NCCL) and failure recovery.
- **[`observability/`](../../examples/observability)** – Metrics, logging, tracing (OpenTelemetry), and dashboards (Grafana, Perses).
