🚀 What is an LLM Inference Engine?
I've recently received questions about LLM inference engines on my YouTube channel, "Murat Karakaya Akademi." This topic is becoming increasingly important as more organizations integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into their operations. If you're curious to learn more or see a demonstration, feel free to visit my channel (https://www.youtube.com/@MuratKarakayaAkademi).
🚀 What is an LLM Inference Engine?
An LLM inference engine is a powerful tool designed to make serving LLMs faster and more efficient. These engines are optimized to handle high throughput and low latency, ensuring that LLMs can respond quickly to a large number of requests. They come with advanced features like response streaming, dynamic request batching, and support for multi-node/multi-GPU serving, making them essential for production environments.
Why Use Them?
- 🎯 Simple Launching: Easily serve popular LLMs with a straightforward setup [1].
- 🛡️ Production Ready: Equipped with distributed tracing, Prometheus metrics, and Open Telemetry [2].
- ⚡ Performance Boost: Leverage Tensor Parallelism, optimized transformers code, and quantization techniques to accelerate inference on multiple GPUs [3].
- 🌐 Broad Support: Compatible with NVIDIA GPUs, AMD and Intel CPUs, TPUs, and more [1].
Examples include:
- vLLM: Known for its state-of-the-art serving throughput and efficient memory management [1].
- Ray Serve: Excellent for model composition and low-cost serving of multiple ML models [2].
- Hugging Face TGI: A toolkit for deploying and serving popular open-source LLMs [3].
