-NOTE: This API server is used only for demonstrating usage of AsyncEngine
-and simple performance benchmarks. It is not intended for production use.
-For production use, we recommend using our OpenAI compatible server.

+Custom vLLM API server with weight bridge hooks for shared-memory training.
+
+This server extends the standard vLLM API with endpoints for:
+- Shared-weight training: trainers can attach to model weights via NCCL
+- LoRA hot-swap: load new adapters without server restart
+- Weight synchronization: coordinate updates between trainer and inference
+
