+# Prompt Embedding Inputs
+
+This page teaches you how to pass prompt embedding inputs to vLLM.
+
+## What are prompt embeddings?
+
+The traditional flow of text data for a Large Language Model goes from text to token ids (via a tokenizer) then from token ids to prompt embeddings. For a traditional decoder-only model (such as meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct), this step of converting token ids to prompt embeddings happens via a look-up from a learned embedding matrix, but the model is not limited to processing only the embeddings corresponding to its token vocabulary.
+
+:::{note}
+Prompt embeddings are currently only supported in the v0 engine.
+:::
+
+## Offline Inference
+
+To input multi-modal data, follow this schema in {class}`vllm.inputs.EmbedsPrompt`:
+
+- `prompt_embeds`: A torch tensor representing a sequence of prompt/token embeddings. This has the shape (sequence_length, hidden_size), where sequence length is the number of tokens embeddings and hidden_size is the hidden size (embedding size) of the model.
+
+### Hugging Face Transformers Inputs
+
+You can pass prompt embeddings from Hugging Face Transformers models to the  `'prompt_embeds'` field of the prompt embedding dictionary, as shown in the following examples:
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+import transformers
+
+model_name = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct"
+
+# Transformers
+tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+transformers_model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
+
+llm = LLM(model=model_name, enable_prompt_embeds=True)
+
+# Refer to the HuggingFace repo for the correct format to use
+chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Please tell me about the capital of France."}]
+token_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt')
+
+prompt_embeds = embedding_layer(token_ids).squeeze(0)
+
+# Single prompt inference
+outputs = llm.generate({
+    "prompt_embeds": prompt_embeds,
+})
+
+for o in outputs:
+    generated_text = o.outputs[0].text
+    print(generated_text)
+
+# Batch inference
+
+chats = [
+    [{"role": "user", "content": "Please tell me about the capital of France."}],
+    [{"role": "user", "content": "When is the day longest during the year?"}],
+    [{"role": "user", "content": "Where is bigger, the moon or the sun?"}]
+]
+
+token_ids_list = [
+    tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt') for chat in chats
+]
+prompt_embeds_list = [embedding_layer(token_ids).squeeze(0) for token_ids in token_ids_list]
+
+outputs = llm.generate(
+    [
+        {
+            "prompt_embeds": prompt_embeds,
+        } for prompt_embeds in prompt_embeds_list
+    ]
+)
+
+for o in outputs:
+    generated_text = o.outputs[0].text
+    print(generated_text)
+```
+
+## Online Serving
+
+Our OpenAI-compatible server accepts prompt embeddings inputs via the [Completions API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/completions). Prompt embeddings inputs are added via a new `'prompt_embeds'` key in the JSON package.
+
+When a mixture of `'prompt_embeds'` and `'prompt'` inputs are provided in a single request, the prompt embeds are always returned first.
+
+Prompt embeddings are passed in as base64 encoded torch tensors.
+
+### Transformers Inputs via OpenAI Client
+
+First, launch the OpenAI-compatible server:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct --task generate \
+  --max-model-len 4096 --enable-prompt-embeds
+```
+
+Then, you can use the OpenAI client as follows:
+
+```python
+from openai import OpenAI
+import transformers
+import torch
+
+openai_api_key = "EMPTY"
+openai_api_base = "http://localhost:8000/v1"
+
+client = OpenAI(
+    api_key=openai_api_key,
+    base_url=openai_api_base,
+)
+
+model_name = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct"
+
+# Transformers
+tokenizer = transformers.AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+transformers_model = transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
+
+
+# Refer to the HuggingFace repo for the correct format to use
+chat = [{"role": "user", "content": "Please tell me about the capital of France."}]
+token_ids = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(chat, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors='pt')
+
+prompt_embeds = embedding_layer(token_ids).squeeze(0)
+
+# Prompt embeddings
+buffer = io.BytesIO()
+torch.save(prompt_embeds, buffer)
+buffer.seek(0)
+binary_data = buffer.read()
+encoded_embeds = base64.b64encode(binary_data).decode('utf-8')
+
+
+completion = client_with_prompt_embeds.completions.create(
+    model=model_name,
+    # NOTE: The OpenAI client does not allow `None` as an input to 
+    # `prompt`. Use an empty string if you have no text prompts.
+    prompt="",  
+    max_tokens=5,
+    temperature=0.0,
+    # NOTE: The OpenAI client allows passing in extra JSON body via the
+    # `extra_body` argument.
+    extra_body={"prompt_embeds": encoded_embeds}
+)
+
+print(completion.choices[0].text)
+```
