## Summary

A step-by-step guide to deploying open-source LLMs using vLLM on Hugging Face Inference Endpoints. Covers creating a custom container image, programmatically setting up endpoints with the huggingface_hub Python library, deploying Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct on an A10G GPU instance, and testing the deployment via the OpenAI SDK. Also notes current UI limitations with custom containers.
