| 16 | ## Hardware Plugins |
| 17 | |
| 18 | vLLM supports third-party hardware plugins that live **outside** the main `vllm` repository. These follow the [Hardware-Pluggable RFC](../../design/plugin_system.md). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | A list of all supported hardware can be found on the vLLM website, see [Universal Compatibility - Hardware](https://vllm.ai/#compatibility). |
