# vLLM-Omni Benchmark CLI Guide
The vllm bench command launches the vLLM-Omni benchmark to evaluate the performance of multimodal models.
## Notes
vLLM-Omni registers the `openai-chat-omni`, `openai-audio-speech`, `openai-image-edits-omni`, `daily-omni`, and `openai-realtime-duplex` serving benchmark backends. It also adds the `omniinteract` dataset.
## Basic Parameter Description
You can use `vllm bench serve --omni --help=all` to get descriptions of all parameters. The commonly used parameters are described below:
- `--omni`
Enable Omni (multimodal) mode, supporting multimodal inputs and outputs such as images, videos, and audio.
- `--backend`
Specify the backend adapter. vLLM-Omni adds `openai-chat-omni`, `openai-audio-speech`, `openai-image-edits-omni`, `daily-omni`, and `openai-realtime-duplex` to the upstream vLLM backend choices.
- `--model`
The model identifier to load, filled according to the models supported by vLLM-Omni.
- `--endpoint`
The API endpoint exposed externally, to which clients send their requests.
- `--dataset-name`
The name of the dataset used; `random-mm` generates random multimodal inputs (images, videos, audio),
`omniinteract` replays official OmniInteract videos, and `videomme` loads Video-MME MCQ videos
(`lmms-eval/Video-MME`, MiniCPM OmniEvalKit packing).
- `--num-prompts`
The total number of requests to send, an integer.
- `--max-concurrency`
"Maximum number of concurrent requests. This can be used "
"to help simulate an environment where a higher level component "
"is enforcing a maximum number of concurrent requests. While the "
"--request-rate argument controls the rate at which requests are "
"initiated, this argument will control how many are actually allowed "
"to execute at a time. This means that when used in combination, the "
"actual request rate may be lower than specified with --request-rate, "
"if the server is not processing requests fast enough to keep up."
- `--request-rate`
"Number of requests per second. If this is inf, "
"then all the requests are sent at time 0. "
"Otherwise, we use Poisson process or gamma distribution "
"to synthesize the request arrival times."
- `--ignore-eos`
"Set ignore_eos flag when sending the benchmark request."
- `--metric-percentiles`
Comma-separated list of percentiles for selected metrics. "
"To report 25-th, 50-th, and 75-th percentiles, use \"25,50,75\". "
"Default value is \"99\"."
"Use \"--percentile-metrics\" to select metrics.
- `--percentile-metrics`
"Comma-separated list of selected metrics to report percentiles."
"This argument specifies the metrics to report percentiles."
'Allowed metric names are "ttft", "tpot", "itl", "ttfc", "tpoc", "icl", '
'"tpop", "e2el", "audio_ttfp", "audio_rtf", "audio_duration". '
- `--print-stage`
Print per-stage benchmark metrics for --omni serving when stage metrics are returned by the server. Disabled by default.
- `--save-result`
Specify to save benchmark results to a json file
- `--save-detailed`
"When saving the results, whether to include per request "
"information such as response, error, ttfs, tpots, etc."
- `--result-dir`
"Specify directory to save benchmark json results."
"If not specified, results are saved in the current directory."
- `--result-filename`
"Specify the filename to save benchmark json results."
"If not specified, results will be saved in "
"{label}-{args.request_rate}qps-{base_model_id}-{current_dt}.json"
- `--random-prefix-len`
Number of fixed prefix tokens before the random context in a request.
The total input length is the sum of random-prefix-len and a random
context length sampled from [input_len *(1 - range_ratio),
input_len* (1 + range_ratio)].Only the random and random-mm modes
support this parameter.
- `--random-input-len`
Number of input tokens per request.Only the random and random-mm modes support this parameter.
- `--random-output-len`
Number of output tokens per request.Only the random and random-mm modes support this parameter.
- `--random-range-ratio`
Range ratio for sampling input/output length,
used only for random sampling. Must be in the range [0, 1) to define
a symmetric sampling range
[length *(1 - range_ratio), length* (1 + range_ratio)].
Only the random and random-mm modes support this parameter.
- `--random-mm-base-items-per-request`
Base number of multimodal items per request for random-mm.
Actual per-request count is sampled around this base using
--random-mm-num-mm-items-range-ratio.
Only the random-mm mode supports this parameter.
- `--random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt`
Per-modality hard caps for items attached per request, e.g.
'{"image": 3, "video": 1, "audio": 1}'. The sampled per-request item
count is clamped to the sum of these limits. When a modality
reaches its cap, its buckets are excluded and probabilities are
renormalized.
Only the random-mm mode supports this parameter.
- `--random-mm-num-mm-items-range-ratio`
Range ratio r in [0, 1] for sampling items per request.
We sample uniformly from the closed integer range
[floor(n*(1-r)), ceil(n*(1+r))]
where n is the base items per request.
r=0 keeps it fixed; r=1 allows 0 items. The maximum is clamped
to the sum of per-modality limits from
--random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt.
An error is raised if the computed min exceeds the max.
Only the random-mm mode supports this parameter.
- `--random-mm-bucket-config`
The bucket config is a dictionary mapping a multimodal item
sampling configuration to a probability.
Currently allows for 3 modalities: audio, images and videos.
A bucket key is a tuple of (height, width, num_frames)
The value is the probability of sampling that specific item.
Example:
--random-mm-bucket-config
"{(256, 256, 1): 0.5, (720, 1280, 16): 0.4, (0, 1, 5): 0.10}"
First item: images with resolution 256x256 w.p. 0.5
Second item: videos with resolution 720x1280 and 16 frames
Third item: audios with 1s duration and 5 channels w.p. 0.1
OBS.: If the probabilities do not sum to 1, they are normalized.
Only the random-mm mode supports this parameter

### OmniInteract Realtime Benchmark
OmniInteract runs each video as one native-duplex WebSocket sample in the standard serving-benchmark lifecycle:
```bash
vllm bench serve --omni \
--backend openai-realtime-duplex \
--dataset-name omniinteract \
--dataset-path /path/to/OmniInteract \
--model openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 \
--base-url http://127.0.0.1:8000 \
--endpoint /v1/realtime \
--omniinteract-ref-audio /path/to/reference.wav \
--omniinteract-output-dir ./omniinteract-artifacts \
--num-prompts 3 \
--num-warmups 0
```
`--dataset-path` accepts an extracted directory, `data.tar[.gz]`, or a Hugging Face dataset ID; omitting it uses
`lucky-lance/OmniInteract`. `--num-prompts` is the total across subsets and defaults to 3 for OmniInteract; explicit `0`
selects all and oversize values use all available cases. Reference audio is required, and OmniInteract uses the
`/v1/realtime` endpoint.
To replay an existing sample set (for example `sampled_cases.jsonl` from a prior run), pass
`--omniinteract-video-list` instead of discovering cases. List order is preserved; `--num-prompts` takes the prefix of
the list (`0` or a value larger than the list length runs every row). Do not combine video-list mode with `--seed`,
`--dataset-path`, `--omniinteract-scenario-tags`, or `--omniinteract-scenario-focus`.
Use `--omniinteract-scenario-tags` to steer small runs toward paper-table scenarios (`realtime`, `proactive`,
`nested`, `interrupted`, `1qna`). By default the sampler covers each requested tag with at least one matching case
(when available under `--omniinteract-subsets`), then fills the remaining `--num-prompts` budget from other cases.
Add `--omniinteract-scenario-focus` to run only cases that match those tags. Example smoke coverage:
```bash
--num-prompts 5 \
--omniinteract-scenario-tags realtime proactive nested interrupted 1qna
```
Audio is replayed as 16 kHz PCM16 in 200 ms chunks and video at 1 FPS with real-time pacing. All selected media is decoded
before timing and remains in client memory for the run, so `--max-concurrency` does not limit media preparation memory; use
explicit `--num-prompts 0` only when the client has enough RAM for the full dataset. Media commands are bounded by
`--omniinteract-media-timeout-s`, and concurrency defaults to 1. Standard request-rate, warmup, result-saving, and summary
options apply. Use `--omniinteract-require-response` only for functional E2E cases; LISTEN is a valid benchmark result.
Each completed case writes `output.wav`, `wav_transcript.json`, `events.json`, `result.json`, and a final `.done` marker under
`--omniinteract-output-dir`. The root also contains `batch_summary.json`, `official_eval_manifest.jsonl` (eligible cases only),
and `sampled_cases.jsonl` (every sampled case as absolute `video_path` / official `output_name` / `subset` rows for Lucky-Lance
OmniInteract `batch_inference_minicpmo.py --video_list`); failed cases write
`.failed.json`. Runs sharing one output root are serialized. Completion validates transport, response lifecycle, and artifacts,
not answer accuracy. Transcript timestamps are serialized playback-queue times. Playback ACKs report cumulative progress
incrementally along that serialized clock, like a live listener; the first ack for a response goes out as soon as its audio
arrives, checkpointing the response's history position so a later committed user input updates it in place. A residual
`playback_ack_too_late` rejection is recorded as an artifact warning rather than failing the case. Clipped or cancelled
outputs are ineligible and omitted from the official manifest; `audio_clipped_bytes` records output beyond the rounded video
horizon.
Accuracy evaluation is opt-in and requires an already-running text judge with an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. The
benchmark does not launch or stop the judge server. Add the following options to the command above:
```bash
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct \
--served-model-name Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct \
--port 8001
```
Then add to the benchmark command:
```bash
--omniinteract-evaluate \
--omniinteract-judge-base-url http://127.0.0.1:8001 \
--omniinteract-judge-model Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
```
`--omniinteract-judge-model` must match that judge process's `--served-model-name` (or its `--model`
string if `--served-model-name` is omitted). It is not a checkpoint path to load, and it is not the
Omni DUT `--served-model-name`. Point `--omniinteract-judge-base-url` at the judge, not at the Omni
realtime endpoint.
The early / core / interrupted-partial judge prompts follow the official English
templates in [Lucky-Lance/OmniInteract](https://github.com/Lucky-Lance/OmniInteract)
`eval/evaluation/llm_judge.py` (commit `de304cef35fd9a50a5caadb5090c34cfbf0dd868`).
They correspond to the OmniInteract paper appendix
([arXiv:2605.26485](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.26485)) Listing A.1 (early-stage),
Listing A.2 (interrupted partial quality), and Listing A.3 (core-stage).
A local OpenAI-compatible judge is not the paper's GPT-4o judge, so reported
IA-QTF1 numbers are protocol-compatible rather than official paper-table scores.
After artifact publication, the evaluator builds `[start, t_a, end)` slots, judges early and core response text, writes
per-case details plus `evaluation/unified_eval_summary.json`, and prints IA-QTF1 columns
(1Q1A realtime / proactive / nested / Global, 1QnA, All Global), interruption diagnostics (NOR / PAQ / CSM), and nested
metrics (NCCS, inner / outer IA-QTF1, missed outer). Slices and sections with no slots in the evaluated sample are
omitted from the terminal report. The header lists how many evaluated cases carry each scenario tag
(`realtime`, `proactive`, `nested`, `interrupted`, `1qna`). Realtime and proactive
exclude nested inner/outer slots; 1Q1A Global recomputes F1 from those three TP/FP/FN aggregates; All Global includes every
scored slot plus unmatched-chunk false positives. Plain `wav_transcript.json` timestamps provide chunk-level approximate
timing. If transcript chunks include `aligned_words`, the evaluator splits boundary-crossing chunks and derives trigger
timing from word alignment.
Per-response TTFT and TTFP start when the server begins executing the native model-turn request that owns the response. RTF
continues to use client receipt of `response.created` through the last audio packet, divided by emitted audio duration. Global
TTFT, TTFP, and RTF cover the complete input-stream window. TPOT/ITL use engine stage-0 timing; ITL is emitted only when every
token interval is present within a continuous generation segment. Model-unit pacing and gaps between generation segments are
excluded from TPOT/ITL. Raw request metrics retain `response_created_to_first_text_ms` and
`response_created_to_first_audio_ms` as client-envelope diagnostics.
The checked-in local performance configuration measures four deterministic cases from `1q1a`, `1q1a_math`, and
`1qna` (12 videos total), with no benchmark warmups and a maximum concurrency of two. Each subset also sends one readiness request before its
measured cases. The runner starts MiniCPM-o 4.5 on the first visible GPU and a text judge
(`Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`) on the second (`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1` relative to the process). After artifacts land it
scores All Global IA-QTF1 through that local judge. This is protocol-compatible with the paper metric, not a GPT-4o
paper-table score. Run it from the repository root with two visible GPUs:
```bash
export HF_HOME=/path/to/persistent/huggingface-cache
export BENCHMARK_DIR=tests/dfx/perf/results
bash tools/nightly/run_nightly_jobs.sh \
--test-type local \
--model-type omni \
--label-substr minicpmo_4_5_omniinteract
```
The first run downloads the pinned OmniInteract archive and the judge weights into `HF_HOME`; later runs reuse that cache.
It requires every case to commit its input, complete any emitted response lifecycles, and publish the expected WAV,
transcript, event, and result artifacts without errors. A valid LISTEN-only case may have no response audio or transcript
chunks. Official-manifest eligibility is reported separately because clipped or cancelled output is a benchmark-quality
signal, not a transport failure. Accuracy must finish with `status=ok` on every subset. After all three subsets finish,
All Global IA-QTF1 is recomputed from pooled `Global_TP` / `Global_FP` / `Global_FN` and must be at or above
`omniinteract_aggregate_min_ia_qtf1` (checked in as `0.2`).
### Video-MME Benchmark
Video-MME (`--dataset-name videomme`) scores multiple-choice video QA. Default packing is
OmniEvalKit MiniCPM `minicpm-frames` (up to 96 sampled frames as `image_url`). Pass a local
mirror with `--dataset-path` / `--videomme-parquet` + `--videomme-video-dir`, or a Hugging
Face dataset id (`lmms-eval/Video-MME` by default; any `org/name` is accepted when
`--dataset-name videomme` is explicit). Relative `--videomme-video-dir` values are resolved
to absolute `file://` URLs. For those URLs, start the server with
`--allowed-local-media-path` covering the video root; otherwise use `--videomme-inline-local-video`.
For MiniCPM-o 4.5, the default deployment allows 64 images per request. To run the
96-frame recipe, start the server with a stage 0 override (replace `/path/to/Video-MME`
with the local video root shared by the benchmark client and server):
```bash
vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
--allowed-local-media-path /path/to/Video-MME \
--stage-overrides '{"0":{"limit_mm_per_prompt":{"image":96,"audio":64,"video":1}}}'
```
The override applies to this server invocation only. Alternatively, use
`--videomme-max-frames 64` in the benchmark to stay within the default image limit;
this evaluates a different frame-sampling setting from the 96-frame recipe.
Run the benchmark against that server:
```bash
vllm bench serve --omni \
--backend openai-chat-omni \
--dataset-name videomme \
--dataset-path /path/to/Video-MME \
--videomme-pack-mode minicpm-frames \
--videomme-max-frames 96 \
--model openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 \
--endpoint /v1/chat/completions \
--num-prompts 8 \
--max-concurrency 1 \
--save-result
```
Accuracy keys (`videomme_accuracy`, per-duration / domain / task breakdowns) are written into
the saved JSON. `videomme_accuracy` excludes HTTP failures; `videomme_accuracy_incl_http_fail`
counts them as wrong. `videomme_submitted` / `videomme_unique_question_ids` show when
oversampling made the request count differ from unique-question coverage.
`videomme_skipped_rows` counts rows skipped during sampling because of missing or unreadable
media or invalid question fields. The opt-in accuracy runner rejects skipped rows, HTTP
failures, duplicate question IDs, and missing gold answers. This checks the sampled subset;
it does not establish that a supplied local mirror contains the entire official dataset.
Use `--videomme-save-eval-items` (or `VIDEOMME_SAVE_EVAL_ITEMS=1`) for per-request
`videomme_eval_items` rows.
### Multi-Modal Benchmark
<details class="admonition abstract" markdown="1">
<summary>Show more</summary>
Benchmark the performance of multi-modal requests in vLLM-Omni.
Generate synthetic image、video、audio inputs alongside random text prompts to stress-test vision models without external datasets.
Notes:
- Works only with online benchmark via:
- the OpenAI chat backend (`--backend openai-chat-omni`) and endpoint `/v1/chat/completions`.
- the OpenAI edit image backend (`--backend openai-image-edits-omni`) and endpoint `/v1/images/edits`.
Start the server (example):
```bash
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-Omni-7B --omni
```
It is recommended to use the flag `--ignore-eos` to simulate real responses. You can set the size of the output via the arg `random-output-len`.
Then run the benchmarking script:
```bash
vllm bench serve \
--omni \
--dataset-name random-mm \
--port 40849 \
--model /home/models/Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct \
--endpoint /v1/chat/completions \
--backend openai-chat-omni \
--request-rate 1 \
--num-prompts 1 \
--random-input-len 10 \
--random-range-ratio 0.0 \
--random-mm-base-items-per-request 2 \
--random-mm-num-mm-items-range-ratio 0 \
--random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image":1,"video":1, "audio": 1}' \
--random-mm-bucket-config '{"(32, 32, 1)": 0.5, "(0, 1, 1)": 0.1, "(32, 32, 2)":0.4}' \
--ignore-eos \
--percentile-metrics ttft,tpot,itl \
--random-output-len 2 \
--extra-body '{"modalities": ["text"]}'
```
If successful, you will see the following output:

Behavioral notes:
- If the requested base item count cannot be satisfied under the provided per-prompt limits, the tool raises an error rather than silently clamping.
How sampling works:
- Determine per-request item count k by sampling uniformly from the integer range defined by `--random-mm-base-items-per-request` and `--random-mm-num-mm-items-range-ratio`, then clamp k to at most the sum of per-modality limits.
- For each of the k items, sample a bucket (H, W, T) according to the normalized probabilities in `--random-mm-bucket-config`, while tracking how many items of each modality have been added.
- If a modality (e.g., image) reaches its limit from `--random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt`, all buckets of that modality are excluded and the remaining bucket probabilities are renormalized before continuing.
This should be seen as an edge case, and if this behavior can be avoided by setting `--random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt` to a large number. Note that this might result in errors due to engine config `--limit-mm-per-prompt`.
- The resulting request contains synthetic image data in `multi_modal_data` (OpenAI Chat format). When `random-mm` is used with the OpenAI Chat backend, prompts remain text and MM content is attached via `multi_modal_data`.

### Image / video generation
For `/v1/images/generations`, `/v1/images/edits`, and `/v1/videos`, set `--endpoint` to that path and omit `--backend`. The endpoint path is registered as the bench request adapter, so a separate named backend is not required.
Example (`/v1/images/generations`):
```bash
vllm bench serve --omni \
--endpoint /v1/images/generations \
--dataset-name random \
--model ~/models/Qwen/Qwen-Image \
--tokenizer ~/models/Qwen/Qwen-Image/tokenizer \
--max-concurrency 1 \
--num-warmups 2 \

```
Use the same pattern with `--endpoint /v1/images/edits` or `--endpoint /v1/videos` (and model-specific `--extra-body` as needed). Pure image/video runs omit the Text Result section when there is no generated text.
`/v1/images/edits` defaults to **non-streaming JSON** (`stream=false`) so single-stage edit models are not rejected by the server. For multi-stage pipelines that need SSE (AR TTFT / image chunks), pass `"stream": true` in `--extra-body`.
`/v1/videos` is an async job API: the client creates a job, then polls until `completed`/`failed`. Measured **e2el** therefore includes client poll sleep and any overshoot after the job actually finishes. Tune polling via `--extra-body`:
- `poll_interval_s` (default `2.0`): sleep between status polls
- `poll_timeout_s` (default `21600`, i.e. 6 hours): give up waiting for the job
**VIDEO_RTF** prefers server-reported generation time when available:
- `video_rtf = video_generation_time_ms / 1000 / video_duration`, where `video_generation_time_ms` comes from response `stage_durations` (or `inference_time_s` as fallback)
- If generation time is missing, falls back to `e2el / video_duration` (this fallback *does* include poll overhead)

Start the server (change the port and model):
```bash
vllm serve --omni --port 29999 --model ~/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct
```
Then run the benchmarking script (remember to add the flag `--print-stage`):
```bash
vllm bench serve --omni \
--dataset-name random \
--port 29999 \
--max-concurrency 1 \
--num-warmups 2 \
--model ~/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct \
--endpoint /v1/chat/completions \
--backend openai-chat-omni \
--num-prompts 3 \
--random-input-len 2500 \
--ignore-eos \
--percentile-metrics ttft,tpot,itl,e2el,audio_ttfp,audio_rtf,ttfc,tpoc,icl \
--random-output-len 900 \
--extra-body '{"modalities": ["text","audio"]}' \
--print-stage
```

Explanation:
- stage_gen_time: Time from submitting a request to a specific stage to that stage finishing generation.
- Serving TTFC (Time to First Chunk): Time from the HTTP request being accepted by the serving frontend to
the stage producing its first non-empty output chunk. Keep the name TTFT in text stage, TTFP in audio stage
for easier mapping.
- TPOP (Time per Output Chunk): Average time from the first output chunk to stage completion, divided by the
number of remaining output chunks. The TPOP abbreviation follows Qwen3.5-Omni Technical Report.
- ICL (Inter-Chunk Latency): Time between two consecutive output chunks produced by the same stage. Keep the
name ITL in text stage for easier mapping.
