dstack 0.0.5rc3

A Command Line Interface for https://dstack.ai

The easiest way to build AI apps

---

dstack allows you to train models and run AI apps in your cloud account.

• Define your machine learning tasks as workflows, and run them via the CLI.
• Specify hardware requirements for your workflows as code.
• Deploy AI applications to dstack with a single command.
• Store, version, and reuse data the most simple way.
• Launch pre-configured development environments with a single command.

This repository contains the open source code of the built-in providers, the CLI, and documentation.

📘 Documentation

🚀 Getting started

To use dstack, you have to create an account, and obtain your personal token.

Install the CLI

Here's how to do it:

pip install dstack
dstack config --token <token> 

Define workflows

Your common project tasks can be defined as workflows:

Click to see an example

workflows:
  - name: prepare
    help: "Loads and prepares the training data" 
    provider: python
    file: "prepare.py"
    artifacts: ["data"]

  - name: train
    help: "Trains a model and saves the checkpoints"
    depends-on:
      - prepare:latest
    provider: python
    file: "train.py"
    artifacts: ["checkpoint"]
    resources:
      gpu: 1    

Run any workflow in the cloud via a single command:

$ dstack run train

Workflows are optional. You can run providers directly from the CLI:

dstack run python train.py \
  --dep prepare:latest --artifact checkpoint --gpu 1

Run applications

Here's how to run applications:

dstack run streamlit app.py --dep model:latest

Launch dev environments

If you need an interactive dev environment, you can have it too through the corresponding provider:

dstack run code app.py --dep prepare:latest --gpu 1

This will run a VS Code with mounted artifacts and requested hardware resources.
