Ant Group and the vLLM community have jointly open-sourced Humming, a general-purpose, high-performance library of quantized inference operators. Humming supports a broad range of devices, including multiple GPU families and CUDA-compatible hardware. Its unified architecture provides extensive quantization support for Dense and MoE models, covering a wide mix of weight and activation formats across integer and floating-point types, bit widths and scaling schemes. Execution performance outperforms existing implementations such as vLLM Marlin, FlashInfer and DeepGEMM across several typical workloads.
