Highlights

🍱 Bento is the container for AI apps

• Open standard and SDK for AI apps, pack your code, inference pipelines, model files, dependencies, and runtime configurations in a Bento.
• Auto-generate API servers, supporting REST API, gRPC, and long-running inference jobs.
• Auto-generate Docker container images.

🏄 Freedom to build with any AI models

• Import from any model hub or bring your own models built with frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, XGBoost and many more.
• Native support for LLM inference, generative AI, embedding creation, and multi-modal AI apps.
• Run and debug your BentoML apps locally on Mac, Windows, or Linux.

🤖️ Inference optimization for AI applications

• Integrate with high-performance runtimes such as ONNX-runtime and TorchScript to boost response time and throughput.
• Support parallel processing of model inferences for improved speed and efficiency.
• Implement adaptive batching to optimize processing.
• Built-in optimization for specific model architectures (like OpenLLM for LLMs).

🍭 Simplify modern AI application architecture

• Python-first! Effortlessly scale complex AI workloads.
• Enable GPU inference without the headache.
• Compose multiple models to run concurrently or sequentially, over multiple GPUs or on a Kubernetes Cluster.
• Natively integrates with MLFlow, LangChain, Kubeflow, Triton, Spark, Ray, and many more to complete your production AI stack.

🚀 Deploy anywhere

• One-click deployment to ☁️ BentoCloud, the Serverless platform made for hosting and operating AI apps.
• Scalable BentoML deployment with 🦄️ Yatai on Kubernetes.
• Deploy auto-generated container images anywhere Docker runs.

Getting started

This example demonstrates how to serve and deploy a simple text summarization application.

Serving a model locally

Install dependencies:

pip install torch transformers "bentoml>=1.2.0a0"

Define the serving logic of your model in a service.py file.

from __future__ import annotations
import bentoml
from transformers import pipeline


@bentoml.service(
    resources={"cpu": "2"},
    traffic={"timeout": 10},
)
class Summarization:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        # Load model into pipeline
        self.pipeline = pipeline('summarization')

    @bentoml.api
    def summarize(self, text: str) -> str:
        result = self.pipeline(text)
        return result[0]['summary_text']

Run this BentoML Service locally, which is accessible at http://localhost:3000.

bentoml serve service:Summarization

Send a request to summarize a short news paragraph:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:3000/summarize' \
  -H 'accept: text/plain' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "text": "Breaking News: In an astonishing turn of events, the small town of Willow Creek has been taken by storm as local resident Jerry Thompson'\''s cat, Whiskers, performed what witnesses are calling a '\''miraculous and gravity-defying leap.'\'' Eyewitnesses report that Whiskers, an otherwise unremarkable tabby cat, jumped a record-breaking 20 feet into the air to catch a fly. The event, which took place in Thompson'\''s backyard, is now being investigated by scientists for potential breaches in the laws of physics. Local authorities are considering a town festival to celebrate what is being hailed as '\''The Leap of the Century."
}'

Deployment

After your Service is ready, you can deploy it to BentoCloud or as a Docker image.

First, create a bentofile.yaml file for building a Bento.

service: "service:Summarization"
labels:
  owner: bentoml-team
  project: gallery
include:
  - "*.py"
python:
  packages:
  - torch
  - transformers

Then, choose one of the following ways for deployment:

BentoCloud

Make sure you have logged in to BentoCloud and then run the following command:

bentoml deploy .

Docker

Build a Bento to package necessary dependencies and components into a standard distribution format.

bentoml build

Containerize the Bento.

bentoml containerize summarization:latest

Run this image with Docker.

docker run --rm -p 3000:3000 summarization:latest

Usage Reporting

BentoML collects usage data that helps our team to improve the product. Only BentoML's internal API calls are being reported. We strip out as much potentially sensitive information as possible, and we will never collect user code, model data, model names, or stack traces. Here's the code for usage tracking. You can opt-out of usage tracking by the --do-not-track CLI option:

bentoml [command] --do-not-track

Or by setting environment variable BENTOML_DO_NOT_TRACK=True:

export BENTOML_DO_NOT_TRACK=True
