## Hardware Plugins

vLLM supports third-party hardware plugins that live **outside** the main `vllm` repository. These follow the [Hardware-Pluggable RFC](../../design/plugin_system.md).

A list of all supported hardware can be found on the vLLM website, see [Universal Compatibility - Hardware](https://vllm.ai/#compatibility).

If you want to add new hardware, please contact us on [Slack](https://slack.vllm.ai/) or [Email](mailto:collaboration@vllm.ai).
