GPUStack

GPUStack is an open-source GPU cluster manager for running large language models(LLMs).

Key Features

• Supports a Wide Variety of Hardware: Run with different brands of GPUs in Apple MacBooks, Windows PCs, and Linux servers.
• Scales with Your GPU Inventory: Easily add more GPUs or nodes to scale up your operations.
• Distributed Inference: Supports both single-node multi-GPU and multi-node inference and serving.
• Multiple Inference Backends: Supports llama-box (llama.cpp) and vLLM as the inference backends.
• Lightweight Python Package: Minimal dependencies and operational overhead.
• OpenAI-compatible APIs: Serve APIs that are compatible with OpenAI standards.
• User and API key management: Simplified management of users and API keys.
• GPU metrics monitoring: Monitor GPU performance and utilization in real-time.
• Token usage and rate metrics: Track token usage and manage rate limits effectively.

Installation

Linux or MacOS

GPUStack provides a script to install it as a service on systemd or launchd based systems. To install GPUStack using this method, just run:

curl -sfL https://get.gpustack.ai | sh -s -

Windows

Run PowerShell as administrator (avoid using PowerShell ISE), then run the following command to install GPUStack:

Invoke-Expression (Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://get.gpustack.ai" -UseBasicParsing).Content

Other Installation Methods

For manual installation, docker installation or detailed configuration options, please refer to the Installation Documentation.

Getting Started

1. Run and chat with the llama3.2 model:

gpustack chat llama3.2 "tell me a joke."

2. Open http://myserver in the browser to access the GPUStack UI. Log in to GPUStack with username admin and the default password. You can run the following command to get the password for the default setup:

Linux or MacOS

cat /var/lib/gpustack/initial_admin_password

Windows

Get-Content -Path "$env:APPDATA\gpustack\initial_admin_password" -Raw

3. Click Playground in the navigation menu. Now you can chat with the LLM in the UI playground.

4. Click API Keys in the navigation menu, then click the New API Key button.

5. Fill in the Name and click the Save button.

6. Copy the generated API key and save it somewhere safe. Please note that you can only see it once on creation.

7. Now you can use the API key to access the OpenAI-compatible API. For example, use curl as the following:

export GPUSTACK_API_KEY=myapikey
curl http://myserver/v1-openai/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GPUSTACK_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "llama3.2",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "system",
        "content": "You are a helpful assistant."
      },
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }
    ],
    "stream": true
  }'

Supported Platforms

• MacOS
• Linux
• Windows

Supported Accelerators

• Apple Metal
• NVIDIA CUDA

• Qualcomm AI Engine

Supported Models

GPUStack uses llama.cpp and vLLM as the backends and supports a wide range of models. Models from the following sources are supported:

1. Hugging Face

2. ModelScope

3. Ollama Library

Example language models:

• LLaMA
• Mistral 7B
• Mixtral MoE
• Falcon
• Baichuan
• Yi
• Deepseek
• Qwen
• Phi
• Grok-1

Example multimodal models:

• Llama3.2-Vision
• Pixtral
• Qwen2-VL
• LLaVA
• InternVL2

For full list of supported models, please refer to the supported models section in the inference backends documentation.

OpenAI-Compatible APIs

GPUStack serves the following OpenAI compatible APIs under the /v1-openai path:

• List Models
• Create Completions
• Create Chat Completions
• Create Embeddings

For example, you can use the official OpenAI Python API library to consume the APIs:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://myserver/v1-openai", api_key="myapikey")

completion = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="llama3.2",
  messages=[
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
  ]
)

print(completion.choices[0].message)

GPUStack users can generate their own API keys in the UI.
