+
+## Hardware Requirements
+
+**Minimum Configuration:**
+- **GPU**: NVIDIA RTX 4090 48GB (or equivalent with at least 48GB VRAM available)
+- **RAM**: At least 650GB system memory
+- **Storage**: ~600GB for model weights (native INT4 weight, same weight dir for CPU and GPU)
+
+**Tested Configuration:**
+
+- **GPU**: 1/2/4/8x NVIDIA RTX 4090/L20 48GB
+- **CPU**: 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8488C
+- **RAM**: 2TB DDR5 4800MHz
+- **OS**: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+ recommended)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before starting, ensure you have:
+
+1. **KT-Kernel installed** - Follow the [installation guide](./kt-kernel_intro.md#installation)
+2. **SGLang installed** - Follow [SGLang integration steps](./kt-kernel_intro.md#integration-with-sglang)
+
+Note: Currently, please clone our custom SGLang repository:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/kvcache-ai/sglang.git
+git checkout kimi_k2
+cd sglang && pip install -e "python[all]"
+```
+
+
+
+1. **CUDA toolkit** - Compatible with your GPU (CUDA 11.8+ recommended)
+2. **Hugging Face CLI** - For downloading models:
+ ```bash
+ pip install huggingface-hub
+ ```
+
+## Step 1: Download Model Weights
+
+```bash
+# Create a directory for models
+mkdir -p /path/to/models
+cd /path/to/models
+
+# Download Kimi-K2-Thinking (INT4 for both CPU and GPU)
+huggingface-cli download moonshotai/Kimi-K2-Thinking \
+ --local-dir /path/to/kimi-k2-thinking
+```
+
+**Note:** Replace `/path/to/models` with your actual storage path throughout this tutorial.
+
+## Step 2: Launch SGLang Server
+
+Start the SGLang server with KT-Kernel integration for CPU-GPU heterogeneous inference.
+
+
+### Launch Command (2x RTX 4090 Example)
+
+```bash
+python -m sglang.launch_server \
+ --host 0.0.0.0 \
+ --port 30001 \
+ --model /path/to/kimi-k2-thinking \
+ --kt-weight-path /path/to/kimi-k2-thinking \
+ --kt-cpuinfer 96 \
+ --kt-threadpool-count 2 \
+ --kt-num-gpu-experts 8 \
+ --kt-method RAWINT4 \
+ --kt-gpu-prefill-token-threshold 400 \
+ --kt-max-deferred-experts-per-token 1 \
+ --trust-remote-code \
+ --mem-fraction-static 0.94 \
+ --served-model-name Kimi-K2-Thinking \
+ --enable-mixed-chunk \
+ --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+ --enable-p2p-check \
+ --disable-shared-experts-fusion \
+ --chunked-prefill-size 65536 \
+ --max-total-tokens 65536 \
+ --attention-backend flashinfer
+```
+
+It takes about 2~3 minutes to start the server.
+
+See [KT-Kernel Parameters](https://github.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers/tree/main/kt-kernel#kt-kernel-parameters) for detailed parameter tuning guidelines.
+
+### Key Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `--kt-method RAWINT4` | CPU and GPU use the same INT4 weight. Set `--model` and `--kt-weight-path` to the same directory. |
+| `--kt-num-gpu-experts` | Number of experts kept on GPU for decoding. |
+| `--kt-gpu-prefill-token-threshold` | Token count threshold for prefill strategy. Below: hybrid CPU+GPU. Above: layerwise GPU prefill. |
+| `--chunked-prefill-size` | Maximum tokens per prefill batch. |
+| `--max-total-tokens` | Maximum total tokens in KV cache. |
+
+### About `--kt-gpu-prefill-token-threshold`
+
+This parameter controls the prefill strategy:
+
+- **$\leq$ threshold**: Uses hybrid CPU+GPU prefill. No extra VRAM needed, but performance degrades slowly as token count increases.
+- **> threshold**: Uses layerwise GPU prefill. Performance scales exponentially up to `chunked-prefill-size`, but requires 9GB+ extra VRAM.
+
+### Troubleshooting OOM
+
+Layerwise prefill requires extra VRAM (~9GB + incremental cost with prefill length). If you encounter OOM, adjust these parameters based on your use case and hardware (refer to the recommended parameters table below):
+
+| Parameter | VRAM Impact |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `--kt-num-gpu-experts` | Reduces expert weight VRAM usage |
+| `--chunked-prefill-size` | Reduces prefill extra VRAM allocation |
+| `--max-total-tokens` | Reduces KV cache VRAM usage |
+
+**Tip:** Test with an input of length `chunked-prefill-size` to verify your configuration won't OOM during prefill.
+
+
+### Recommended Parameters
+
+| GPU Config | `kt-num-gpu-experts` | `max-total-tokens` | `chunked-prefill-size` |
+|------------|----------------------|---------------------|------------------------|
+| 1x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 1 | 32768 | 32768 |
+| 2x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 8 | 65536 | 65536 |
+| 4x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 30 | 80000 | 65536 |
+| 8x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 80 | 100000 | 65536 |
+
+### Performance
+
+The following performance benchmarks were measured with single concurrency at maximum prefill length (32768 tokens):
+
+| GPU Config | Prefill Throughput |
+|------------|-------------------|
+| 1x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 290 tokens/s |
+| 2x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 529 tokens/s |
+| 4x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 775 tokens/s |
+| 8x RTX 4090 (48GB) | 1060 tokens/s |
+
+## Step 3: Send Inference Requests
+
+Once the server is running, you can send inference requests using the OpenAI-compatible API.
+
+### Basic Chat Completion Request
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://localhost:30001/v1/chat/completions \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{
+ "model": "Kimi-K2-Thinking",
+ "stream": false,
+ "messages": [
+ {"role": "user", "content": "hi"}
+ ]
+ }'
+```
+

+
+## Advance Use Case: Running Claude Code with Native Kimi-K2-Thinking Local Backend
+
+Add the following parameters to the SGLang launch command above to enable tool calling support:
+
+```bash
+--tool-call-parser kimi_k2 --reasoning-parser kimi_k2
+```
+
+With these parameters enabled, you can use [claude-code-router](https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router) to connect Kimi-K2-Thinking as a local backend for [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code).

- **`kt-method`**: Choose based on your CPU and weight format:
- `AMXINT4`: Best performance on AMX CPUs with INT4 quantized weights (May cause huge accuracy drop for some models, e.g., Qwen3-30B-A3B)
- `AMXINT8`: Higher accuracy with INT8 quantized weights on AMX CPUs
+ - `RAWINT4`: Native INT4 weights shared by CPU and GPU (AMX backend only, currently supports Kimi-K2-Thinking model). See [Kimi-K2-Thinking Native Tutorial](../doc/en/Kimi-K2-Thinking-Native.md) for details.
- `LLAMAFILE`: GGUF-based backend

+- **`kt-gpu-prefill-token-threshold`** (RAWINT4 only): Controls prefill strategy for native INT4 inference:
+ - **≤ threshold**: Uses hybrid CPU+GPU prefill. No extra VRAM needed, but performance degrades slowly as token count increases.
+ - **> threshold**: Uses layerwise GPU prefill. Performance scales better with longer sequences, but requires ~9GB+ extra VRAM.
