👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.
Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can do one of these:

• Add ready label to the PR
• Enable auto-merge.

I think we also need to update the compiled requirements-test.txt?

I think you need to pip compile with -P numpy to keep the numpy version in the output txt

hi @DarkLight1337
it seems genai-perf has a requirement for old numpy, so pip compile will stick to 1.26.4
https://github.com/triton-inference-server/perf_analyzer/blob/main/genai-perf/pyproject.toml#L51
The genai-perf is only used in nightly benchmarks, but it's marked as one dependency in test. So I think we should try to bump the numpy in genai-perf package firstly?

@debermudez @jikunshang could you help us understand if genai-perf can update to recent numpy?

[debermudez]

@mgoin this actually came up today in a different thread for our team. I think another team mate is already working on it.

[zhouyuan]

Yes, here's the feedback from genai-perf dev
