Supercharge Generative AI Serving 🚀PeriFlow is the fastest engine for serving generative AI models such as GPT-3. With PeriFlow, a company can significantly reduce the cost and environmental impact of running its generative AI models. Users can use PeriFlow in a container and run it on the infrastructure they manage. They can also use our PeriFlow cloud service to reduce overheads of running generative AI models themselves.As these models enable smarter, more productive services, many companies are competitively investing to build sophisticated generative AI models, with parameter sizes ranging from a few billion to even a few trillion. OpenAI, for example, is well-known for its large language models such as ChatGPT and GPT-4. There are many others as well—LLaMA, OPT, BLOOM, Gopher, PaLM, BlenderBot3, Codex, and CodeGen, to name a few. Many companies are increasingly making their generative AI models or adapting existing models to their needs.Utilizing such large generative AI models, however, is no simple task. Even after users complete training models, they still face big challenges while handling the inference. Namely, the serving costs are likely high since they require GPUs—and as traffic increases, the costs steeply increase. Furthermore, they could pose environmental consequences. Lastly, operating the serving infrastructure can be burdensome for users who want to solely focus on training their models.This is where PeriFlow, an engine for generative AI, comes to the rescue. Not only does PeriFlow provide a huge speedup of serving generative AI models, but it also provides a way for running the engine in diverse cloud or on-premise GPU resources. Namely, the PeriFlow cloud service automatically scales depending on the traffic and handles any faults or performance problems. Just imagine the time and cost that could be saved by leaving all tasks for utilizing a generative AI model in the hands of PeriFlow.☁️ PeriFlow CloudHigh performanceUsers can use PeriFlow to reduce serving costs and environmental consequences significantly. They can serve much higher traffic with the same number of GPUs—or serve the same amount of traffic with notably fewer GPUs. PeriFlow can serve 10x more throughput at the same level of latency. This gain is thanks to PeriFlow’s innovative patented technology, which speeds up the execution of generative AI models.Diverse model and options supportPeriFlow supports various language model architectures, embedding choices, and decoding options such as greedy decoding, top-k, top-p, and beam search. PeriFlow will support diffusion models as well in the near future, so stay tuned!
Users can use PeriFlow in a container and run it by themselves, or they can use our cloud service. The cloud service supports the following features.Effortless deploymentPeriFlow cloud provides an easy serving experience with a Command Line Interface (CLI) and a web interface. With just a few clicks, users can deploy their models to the infrastructure that they desire. Users can move their serving between different clouds such as Azure, AWS, and GCP, and still have the same seamless experience.Automatic load and fault managementPeriFlow cloud monitors the resources in use and requests (responses) being sent to (sent from) the currently deployed model, allowing users a more stable model serving experience. When the number of requests sent to the deployed model increases, PeriFlow cloud automatically assigns more resources (GPU VMs) to the model, while it reduces resource usage when there are not as many requests. Furthermore, if a certain resource malfunctions, PeriFlow cloud proceeds with recovery based on the monitoring results.🕹️ PeriFlow ClientCheck outPeriFlow Client Docsto learn more.Installationpipinstallperiflow-clientIf you have a Hugging Face checkpoint and want to convert it to a PeriFlow-compatible format, you need to install the package with the necessary machine learing library (mllib) dependencies.
