ServerlessLLM

ServerlessLLM (sllm, pronounced as "slim") is a fast, affordable and easy library designed for multi-LLM serving, also known as Serverless Inference, Inference Endpoint, or Model Endpoints. This library is ideal for environments with limited GPU resources (GPU poor), as it allows efficient dynamic loading of models onto GPUs. By supporting high levels of GPU multiplexing, it maximizes GPU utilization without the need to dedicate GPUs to individual models.

• [07/24] We are working towards to the first release and making documentation ready. Stay tuned!

About

ServerlessLLM is Fast:

• Supports various leading LLM inference libraries including vLLM and HuggingFace Transformers.
• Achieves 5-10X faster loading speed than Safetensors and PyTorch Checkpoint Loader.
• Supports start-time-optimized model loading scheduler, achieving 5-100X better LLM start-up latency than Ray Serve and KServe.

ServerlessLLM is Affordable:

• Supports many LLM models to share a few GPUs with low model switching overhead and seamless inference live migration.
• Fully utilizes local storage resources available on multi-GPU servers, reducing the need for employing costly storage servers and network bandwidth.

ServerlessLLM is Easy:

• Facilitates easy deployment via Ray Cluster and Kubernetes (coming soon).
• Seamlessly deploys HuggingFace Transformers models and your custom LLM models.
• Integrates seamlessly with the OpenAI Query API.

Getting Started

1. Install ServerlessLLM following Installation Guide.

2. Start a local ServerlessLLM cluster following Quick Start Guide.

3. Just want to try out fast checkpoint loading in your own code? Check out the ServerlessLLM Store Guide.
