Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

Truss

The simplest way to serve AI/ML models in production

PyPI version ci_status

Why Truss?

  • Write once, run anywhere: Package and test model code, weights, and dependencies with a model server that behaves the same in development and production.
  • Fast developer loop: Implement your model with fast feedback from a live reload server, and skip Docker and Kubernetes configuration with a batteries-included model serving environment.
  • Support for all Python frameworks: From transformers and diffusers to PyTorch and TensorFlow to TensorRT and Triton, Truss supports models created and served with any framework.

See Trusses for popular models including:

and dozens more examples.

Installation

Install Truss with:

pip install --upgrade truss

Quickstart

As a quick example, we'll package a text classification pipeline from the open-source transformers package.

Create a Truss

To get started, create a Truss with the following terminal command:

truss init text-classification

When prompted, give your Truss a name like Text classification.

Then, navigate to the newly created directory:

cd text-classification

Implement the model

One of the two essential files in a Truss is model/model.py. In this file, you write a Model class: an interface between the ML model that you're packaging and the model server that you're running it on.

There are two member functions that you must implement in the Model class:

  • load() loads the model onto the model server. It runs exactly once when the model server is spun up or patched.
  • predict() handles model inference. It runs every time the model server is called.

Here's the complete model/model.py for the text classification model:

from transformers import pipeline


class Model:
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        self._model = None

    def load(self):
        self._model = pipeline("text-classification")

    def predict(self, model_input):
        return self._model(model_input)

Add model dependencies

The other essential file in a Truss is config.yaml, which configures the model serving environment. For a complete list of the config options, see the config reference.

The pipeline model relies on Transformers and PyTorch. These dependencies must be specified in the Truss config.

In config.yaml, find the line requirements. Replace the empty list with:

requirements:
  - torch==2.0.1
  - transformers==4.30.0

No other configuration is needed.

Deployment

Truss is maintained by Baseten, which provides infrastructure for running ML models in production. We'll use Baseten as the remote host for your model.

Other remotes are coming soon, starting with AWS SageMaker.

Get an API key

To set up the Baseten remote, you'll need a Baseten API key. If you don't have a Baseten account, no worries, just sign up for an account and you'll be issued plenty of free credits to get you started.

Run truss push

With your Baseten API key ready to paste when prompted, you can deploy your model:

truss push

You can monitor your model deployment from your model dashboard on Baseten.

Invoke the model

After the model has finished deploying, you can invoke it from the terminal.

Invocation

truss predict -d '"Truss is awesome!"'

Security for truss 0.10.9rc521

Provenance

Provenance describes where a file came from. On PyPI, provenance is shared via attestations, which provide a verifiable record of the build or publishing details. View details, limitations and caveats.

Loss of provenance

A previous release of these files had provenance metadata, but this release does not.

While this could reflect a routine change by the project maintainers, it may also indicate that the release files have been compromised.

Release comparison

  • Removed 0.10.9rc2 2 files With provenance
  • Added 0.10.9rc521 2 files Without provenance

A note on package security

PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
