# SGLang Engine
SGLang provides a direct inference engine without the need for an HTTP server. There are generally these use cases:
- [Offline Batch Inference](#offline-batch-inference)
- [Embedding Generation](#embedding-generation)
- [Custom Server](#custom-server)
- [Token-In-Token-Out for RLHF](#token-in-token-out-for-rlhf)
- [Inference Using FastAPI](#inference-using-fastapi)
## Examples
### [Offline Batch Inference](./offline_batch_inference.py)
In this example, we launch an SGLang engine and feed a batch of inputs for inference. If you provide a very large batch, the engine will intelligently schedule the requests to process efficiently and prevent OOM (Out of Memory) errors.
### [Embedding Generation](./embedding.py)
In this example, we launch an SGLang engine and feed a batch of inputs for embedding generation.
### [Custom Server](./custom_server.py)
This example demonstrates how to create a custom server on top of the SGLang Engine. We use [Sanic](https://sanic.dev/en/) as an example. The server supports both non-streaming and streaming endpoints.
#### Steps
1. Install Sanic:
```bash
pip install sanic
```
2. Run the server:
```bash
python custom_server
```
3. Send requests:
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/generate -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt": "The Transformer architecture is..."}'
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/generate_stream -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"prompt": "The Transformer architecture is..."}' --no-buffer
```
This will send both non-streaming and streaming requests to the server.
### [Token-In-Token-Out for RLHF](../token_in_token_out)
In this example, we launch an SGLang engine, feed tokens as input and generate tokens as output.
### [Inference Using FastAPI](fastapi_engine_inference.py)
This example demonstrates how to create a FastAPI server that uses the SGLang engine for text generation.
