This uv-script allows you to run batch inference on vllm over an hf dataset as long as it has a messages column. It's based on the script [https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/vllm/raw/main/generate-responses.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/uv-scripts/vllm/raw/main/generate-responses.py)
the only diference is that it uses `llm.chat()` instead of `llm.generate()` so the response format is more familar to the openai response format and easier to use.
