Key Challenges in Deploying LLMs
Businesses face several obstacles when integrating AI, particularly with large language models (LLMs):
- Performance Bottlenecks: Many cloud GPUs struggle with variable workloads, leading to slow responses.
- Engineering Complexity: Managing open-source models requires significant resources and expertise.
- High Infrastructure Costs: High-performing GPUs are expensive and often underutilized.
The Predibase Inference Engine simplifies these challenges, offering an efficient, scalable infrastructure for SLM management.
Innovative Features of the Predibase Inference Engine
- LoRAX: Serve hundreds of fine-tuned SLMs on a single GPU, reducing costs and resource needs.
- Turbo LoRA: Increase throughput by 2-3 times while maintaining high response quality.
- FP8 Quantization: Cut memory use by 50%, allowing for up to double the throughput on GPUs.
- GPU Autoscaling: Adjust GPU resources in real-time based on demand, optimizing costs and performance.
Efficiently Scale Multiple Fine-Tuned SLMs
LoRAX allows for efficient deployment of multiple fine-tuned SLMs on a single GPU, significantly lowering costs. This innovative infrastructure optimizes memory use and maintains high throughput for concurrent requests.
Boosting Performance with Turbo LoRA and FP8
Turbo LoRA enhances SLM inference performance by predicting multiple tokens in one step, increasing throughput by 2-3 times. Coupled with FP8 quantization, this technique allows for more efficient processing and cost-effective deployments.
Optimized GPU Scaling
The Inference Engine dynamically adjusts GPU resources based on real-time demand, reducing costs and ensuring high performance. It also minimizes cold start times, enhancing system responsiveness during traffic spikes.
Enterprise-Ready Solutions
Predibase’s Inference Engine is designed for enterprise applications, offering features like VPC integration and multi-region availability. This simplifies AI workload management for businesses.
