hpcai 0.1.9

Python SDK for HPC-AI cloud GPU fine-tuning

HPC-AI Python SDK

Overview

The HPC-AI Python SDK provides a powerful interface for distributed GPU training and fine-tuning on HPC-AI's cloud infrastructure.

Installation

we recommend using conda to install the SDK.

conda create -n hpcai python=3.12 -y
conda activate hpcai
git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/HPC-AI-SDK
cd HPC-AI-SDK
pip install .

We only support installing from source currently, we will release official PIP package soon.

Quick Start

from hpcai import ServiceClient, TrainingClient

# Initialize the service client
client = ServiceClient(
    base_url="https://www.hpc-ai.com/finetunesdk",
    api_key="your-api-key"
)

# Create a training client for LoRA fine-tuning
training_client = client.create_lora_training_client(
    base_model="Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B",
    rank=8,
    seed=42
)

Path Protocol

The SDK uses the hpcai:// protocol for model and checkpoint paths:

model_path = "hpcai://run-123/training/checkpoint-001"

Environment Variables

Configure the SDK using these environment variables:

• HPCAI_API_KEY - Your API key
• HPCAI_BASE_URL - API endpoint (default: https://www.hpc-ai.com/finetunesdk)

Features

• Distributed Training: Leverage HPC-AI's GPU cloud for efficient model training
• LoRA Fine-tuning: Memory-efficient fine-tuning with LoRA adapters
• Async Support: Full async/await support for concurrent operations
• Type Safety: Comprehensive type hints for better IDE support

Usage Example

A usage example for finetune "Qwen3-8B" model.
