For ROCm, vLLM-Omni currently recommends the setup steps through Docker Images.

vLLM-Omni depends on the matching major/minor release of vLLM. This source checkout targets vLLM 0.31.0. The pre-built Omni wheel instructions below install the published 0.30.0 release with its matching vLLM dependency.

The Dockerfile's BASE_IMAGE pin applies only to Docker builds. The vllm-omni package does not install vLLM as a dependency, so non-Docker source installs must install the matching ROCm vLLM release explicitly before installing vLLM-Omni, as shown below.

--8<-- [start:pre-built-wheels]

Installation of vLLM

These pre-built wheel instructions install the published vLLM-Omni 0.30.0 release.

vLLM-Omni is built based on vLLM. Please install it with command below.

uv pip install vllm==0.30.0+rocm723 --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/rocm/0.30.0/rocm723

Installation of vLLM-Omni

# we need to add --no-build-isolation as the torch
# is not obtained from pypi, we have to install using the
# torch installed in our environment
uv pip install vllm-omni==0.30.0

# Optional if want to run Qwen3 TTS
uv pip uninstall onnxruntime # should be removed before we can install onnxruntime-rocm
uv pip install onnxruntime-rocm

Installation of vLLM

If you do not need to modify source code of vLLM, install the final 0.31.0 release wheel for ROCm 7.2.3:

uv pip install vllm==0.31.0+rocm723 --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/rocm/0.31.0/rocm723

The pre-built 0.31.0 vLLM wheel targets ROCm 7.2.3. If you need a different ROCm stack or want to reuse an existing PyTorch installation, build vLLM from source instead.

Installation of vLLM-Omni

Since vllm-omni is rapidly evolving, it's recommended to install it from source

git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni.git
cd vllm-omni
VLLM_OMNI_TARGET_DEVICE=rocm uv pip install -e .
# OR
uv pip install -e . --no-build-isolation

(Optional) Installation of vLLM from source

If you want to check, modify or debug with source code of vLLM, install the library from source with the following instructions:

git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm.git
cd vllm
git checkout v0.31.0
python3 -m pip install -r requirements/rocm.txt
python3 setup.py develop

--8<-- [start:build-docker]

Build docker image

The source build defaults to the published upstream base image vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:v0.31.0, aligned with this source checkout. Older or custom bases must provide the vLLM APIs checked by the Dockerfile's image-build canary. This upstream base is distinct from the prebuilt vllm/vllm-omni-rocm images discussed below; their published-tag availability is tracked in #7405.

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.rocm -t vllm-omni-rocm .

To select the upstream ROCm base explicitly, pass BASE_IMAGE:

DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build \
  -f docker/Dockerfile.rocm \
  --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=vllm/vllm-openai-rocm:v0.31.0 \
  -t vllm-omni-rocm .

Launch the docker image

Launch with OpenAI API Server

docker run --rm \
--group-add=video \
--ipc=host \
--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
--device /dev/kfd \
--device /dev/dri \
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
--env "HF_TOKEN=$HF_TOKEN" \
-p 8091:8091 \
--ipc=host \
vllm-omni-rocm \
--model Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct --port 8091

Launch with interactive session for development

docker run --rm -it \
--network=host \
--group-add=video \
--ipc=host \
--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
--device /dev/kfd \

vLLM-Omni offers an official docker image for deployment. These images are built on top of vLLM docker images and available on Docker Hub as vllm/vllm-omni-rocm. The version of vLLM-Omni indicates which release of vLLM it is based on.

The prebuilt ROCm image is published separately from the release pipeline: v0.28.0 is the latest tag currently available on Docker Hub, and newer-tag availability is tracked in #7405.

Launch vLLM-Omni Server

Here's an example deployment command that has been verified on 2 x MI300's:

docker run --rm \
  --group-add=video \
  --ipc=host \
  --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
  --device /dev/kfd \
  --device /dev/dri \
  -v <path/to/model>:/app/model \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
  --env "HF_TOKEN=$HF_TOKEN" \
  -p 8091:8091 \
  vllm/vllm-omni-rocm:v0.28.0 \
  --model Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct --omni --port 8091

Launch an interactive terminal with prebuilt docker image

If you want to run in dev environment you can launch the docker image as follows:

docker run --rm -it \
  --network=host \
  --group-add=video \
  --ipc=host \
  --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
  --device /dev/kfd \
  --device /dev/dri \
  -v <path/to/model>:/app/model \
  -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
  --env "HF_TOKEN=$HF_TOKEN" \
  --entrypoint bash \
  vllm/vllm-omni-rocm:v0.28.0
