Text Generation Inference

architecture

A Rust and gRPC server for text generation inference. Used in production at HuggingFace to power Bloom, BloomZ and MT0-XXL api-inference widgets.

Features

Officially supported models

Other models are supported on a best effort basis using:

AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(<model>, device_map="auto")

or

AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(<model>, device_map="auto")

Load Tests for BLOOM

See k6/load_test.js

Install

make install

Run

BLOOM 560-m

make run-bloom-560m

BLOOM

First you need to download the weights:

make download-bloom
make run-bloom # Requires 8xA100 80GB

You can also quantize the weights with bitsandbytes to reduce the VRAM requirement:

make run-bloom-quantize # Requires 8xA100 40GB

Test

curl 127.0.0.1:3000/generate \
    -v \
    -X POST \
    -d '{"inputs":"Testing API","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":9}}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Develop

make server-dev
make router-dev

TODO:

  • Add tests for the server/model logic
  • Backport custom CUDA kernels to Transformers
