This article details how to accelerate deep learning and LLM inference using Apache Spark, focusing on distributed inference strategies. It covers basic deployment with `predict_batch_udf`, advanced deployment with inference servers like NVIDIA Triton and vLLM, and deployment on cloud platforms like Databricks and Dataproc. It also provides guidance on resource management and configuration for optimal performance.
Running GenAI models is easy. Scaling them to thousands of users, not so much. This guide details avenues for scaling AI workloads from proofs of concept to production-ready deployments, covering API integration, on-prem deployment considerations, hardware requirements, and tools like vLLM and Nvidia NIMs.
K8S-native cluster-wide deployment for vLLM. Provides a reference implementation for building an inference stack on top of vLLM, enabling scaling, monitoring, request routing, and KV cache offloading with easy cloud deployment.
vLLM Production Stack provides a reference implementation on how to build an inference stack on top of vLLM, allowing for scalable, monitored, and performant LLM deployments using Kubernetes and Helm.
A user is seeking advice on deploying a new server with 4x H100 GPUs (320GB VRAM) for on-premise AI workloads. They are considering a Kubernetes-based deployment with RKE2, Nvidia GPU Operator, and tools like vLLM, llama.cpp, and Litellm. They are also exploring the option of GPU pass-through with a hypervisor. The post details their current infrastructure and asks for potential gotchas or best practices.
The article explores the evolution of large language model (LLM) serving, highlighting significant advancements from pre-2020 frameworks to the introduction of vLLM in 2023. It discusses the challenges of efficient memory management in LLM serving and how vLLM's PagedAttention technique revolutionizes the field by reducing memory wastage and enabling better utilization of GPU resources.
The article discusses the importance of fine-tuning machine learning models for optimal inference performance and explores popular tools like vLLM, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, TorchServe, and DeepSpeed.
A comparison of frameworks, models, and costs for deploying Llama models locally and privately.
- Four tools were analyzed: HuggingFace, vLLM, Ollama, and llama.cpp.
- HuggingFace has a wide range of models but struggles with quantized models.
- vLLM is experimental and lacks full support for quantized models.
- Ollama is user-friendly but has some customization limitations.
- llama.cpp is preferred for its performance and customization options.
- The analysis focused on llama.cpp and Ollama, comparing speed and power consumption across different quantizations.
