[r/LocalLLaMA] vLLM on Jetson Orin — pre-built wheel with Marlin GPTQ support (3.8x prefill speedup)

Summary

A user has addressed a significant performance issue for GPTQ model inference on NVIDIA Jetson Orin devices by compiling a custom vLLM version (0.17.0) that includes Marlin kernel support for SM 8.7. This fix enables the utilization of tensor cores, which were previously idle, resulting in a substantial 3.8x prefill speedup. This is crucial for users serving large language models like Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GPTQ-Int4 on these edge AI platforms.
