Unless using docker, if vllm is not provided and built against ROCm dependencies it’s going to be time consuming.

It took me quite some time to figure the magic combination of versions and commits, and to build each dependency successfully to run on an MI325x.

Agreed, the OOB experience kind of suck.

Here is the magic (assuming a 4x)...

  docker run -it --rm \
  --pull=always \
  --ipc=host \
  --network=host \
  --privileged \
  --cap-add=CAP_SYS_ADMIN \
  --device=/dev/kfd \
  --device=/dev/dri \
  --device=/dev/mem \
  --group-add render \
  --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE \
  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
  -v /home/hotaisle:/mnt/data \
  -v /root/.cache:/mnt/model \
  rocm/vllm-dev:nightly
  
  mv /root/.cache /root/.cache.foo
  ln -s /mnt/model /root/.cache
  
  VLLM_ROCM_USE_AITER=1 vllm serve zai-org/GLM-4.7-FP8 \

Speculative decoding isn’t needed at all, right? Why include the final bits about it?
GLM 4.7 supports it - and in my experience for Claude code a 80 plus hit rate in speculative is reasonable. So it is a significant speed up.
