gen-worker 0.5.20

A library used to build custom functions in Cozy Creator's serverless function platform.

gen-worker

Python SDK for writing endpoints that run on Cozy's worker pool. You write a decorated Python function; the SDK handles discovery, scheduling, model loading, cancellation, file I/O, and reporting to the control plane.

Three endpoint kinds:

• Inference — request/response (optionally streaming).
• Training — long-running, stateful, can publish checkpoints back to a repo.
• Conversion — produces weight artifacts on a destination repo.

Install

uv add gen-worker          # core
uv add gen-worker[torch]   # with PyTorch

Quick start

import msgspec
from gen_worker import RequestContext, inference_function

class Input(msgspec.Struct):
    prompt: str

class Output(msgspec.Struct):
    text: str

@inference_function
def hello(ctx: RequestContext, payload: Input) -> Output:
    return Output(text=f"Hello, {payload.prompt}!")

Pair it with an endpoint.toml:

schema_version = 1
name = "hello"
main = "my_pkg.main"   # import path that contains your @inference_function

[resources]
ram_gb = 2
cpu_cores = 1

…and a Dockerfile:

FROM python:3.12-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN pip install uv && uv sync --frozen
RUN mkdir -p /app/.tensorhub && \
    uv run python -m gen_worker.discovery > /app/.tensorhub/endpoint.lock
ENTRYPOINT ["uv", "run", "python", "-m", "gen_worker.entrypoint"]

Publish with cozyctl endpoint deploy (or via the platform UI). The control plane reads /app/.tensorhub/endpoint.lock from the image and routes invocations.

Reference

See docs/endpoint-authoring.md for the full authoring guide: model injection, streaming, file uploads, training/conversion contracts, error types, and local testing.

Public surface

The top-level gen_worker module exports only what endpoint authors need:

• Decorators: inference_function, realtime_function, ResourceRequirements
• Injection: ModelRef, ModelRefSource
• Context: RequestContext, RealtimeSocket
• Types: Asset, Tensors, Compute, LoraSpec
• Errors: ValidationError, RetryableError, FatalError, ResourceError, AuthError, CanceledError, OutputTooLargeError, WorkerError
• Helpers: Clamp, iter_transformers_text_deltas, load_loras, apply_low_vram_config, with_oom_retry

Training and conversion live in their own submodules: gen_worker.trainer, gen_worker.conversion, gen_worker.clone.
