How many stars does vllm-project/vllm have?
GitHub currently reports 91,862 stars for vllm-project/vllm. The chart itself is rebuilt from historical star data, which records star actions and not unstars, so it reads as an attention signal rather than a net star count.
What does recent star activity look like for vllm?
gitdebt observed about 274 public star actions for vllm-project/vllm over the latest 90 days of archive coverage (about 193 in the latest 30). This is an approximate attention signal, not a net-star count, because unstars are not present. That's below its lifetime average activity pace, which is common for mature projects.

<sub>Star history source: Historical star data · Covers through September 16, 2026 · Still updating — <a href="https://gitdebt.com/vllm-project/vllm?ref=readme">gitdebt</a></sub>

Light and dark variants, alt text, and one provenance line. Provenance is text in your README, never baked into the image URL, so the chart stays cacheable.

Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent with your checkout open. It carries the measured numbers, the exact snippets, and the rules — including replacing an existing star-history widget in place rather than stacking a second chart under it.
