 ## Deploy LeaderWorkerSet of vLLM
-We use LeaderWorkerSet to deploy two vLLM model replicas, and each vLLM replica has two pods (tp=2). 
+We use LeaderWorkerSet to deploy two vLLM model replicas, and each vLLM replica has 2 pods (pipeline_parallel_size=2) and 8 GPUs per pod (tensor_parallel_size=8). 
 The leader pod runs the Ray head and the http server, while the workers run the Ray workers.
