Evaluation of the operational performance metrics (load time, latency, throughput, and memory usage) when deploying the Qwen3-1.7B model using the vLLM serving framework.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | vLLM Model Deployment and Inference |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Qwen3-1.7B vLLM (inference) |
| Metric | Model Load Time (s) |
| Unit | TIME |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Model Load Time (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vllm-inference-performance-on-qwen3-1-7b.md?metric=Model%20Load%20Time%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [First Token Latency (s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vllm-inference-performance-on-qwen3-1-7b.md?metric=First%20Token%20Latency%20(s)>): Lower is better; unit: TIME.

- [Throughput (tok/s)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vllm-inference-performance-on-qwen3-1-7b.md?metric=Throughput%20(tok%2Fs)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [CPU Mem (MiB)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vllm-inference-performance-on-qwen3-1-7b.md?metric=CPU%20Mem%20(MiB)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.

- [Acc Mem (GiB)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/vllm-inference-performance-on-qwen3-1-7b.md?metric=Acc%20Mem%20(GiB)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.
