title: Server Arguments
---
[](){ #serve-args }
The `vllm serve` command is used to launch the OpenAI-compatible server.
## CLI Arguments
The `vllm serve` command is used to launch the OpenAI-compatible server.
To see the available CLI arguments, run `vllm serve --help`!
## Configuration file
You can load CLI arguments via a [YAML](https://yaml.org/) config file.
The argument names must be the long form of those outlined [above][serve-args].
For example:
```yaml
# config.yaml
model: meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
host: "127.0.0.1"
port: 6379
uvicorn-log-level: "info"
```
To use the above config file:
```bash
vllm serve --config config.yaml
```
!!! note
In case an argument is supplied simultaneously using command line and the config file, the value from the command line will take precedence.
The order of priorities is `command line > config file values > defaults`.
e.g. `vllm serve SOME_MODEL --config config.yaml`, SOME_MODEL takes precedence over `model` in config file.
