Run Verification Locally (Python Benchmark Script):

# Install dependencies: pip install vllm transformers
import time
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

def run_benchmark(model_id="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"):
    print(f">> Initializing vLLM engine for {model_id}...")

    prompts = ["Explain quantum computing in detail."] * 64
    sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.7, max_tokens=512)
    
    start_time = time.time()
    outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
    total_time = time.time() - start_time
    
    total_tokens = sum(len(output.outputs[0].token_ids) for output in outputs)
    throughput = total_tokens / total_time
    print(f">> Throughput: {throughput:.2f} tokens/second across 64 concurrent streams")
