Building a Scalable and Customizable AI Inference Platform

🏗️Model composition allows you to combine multiple models into one application, enabling efficient resource usage and independent scaling.

⚙️Multi-application feature allows you to have multiple applications living on the same cluster, with independent upgrades and flexible resource allocation.

🔢Multiplex API enables you to dynamically allocate resources to different models based on their demands, allowing you to serve a large number of models efficiently.

🎚️The multiplex API supports easy scaling up and down of resources, allowing you to allocate more or fewer resources to different models based on their usage patterns.

📊Observability and monitoring are essential for managing and maintaining the AI inference platform, ensuring optimal performance and identifying issues.

Can model composition support combining models with different hardware requirements?

—Yes, model composition allows you to combine models with different hardware resource requirements, such as CPU and GPU, optimizing resource usage.

Can I independently upgrade models in the multi-application setup?

—Yes, with the multi-application feature, you can independently upgrade models in each application without affecting others, providing flexibility and reducing risk in the upgrade process.

How can the multiplex API help in serving a large number of models?

—The multiplex API enables dynamic resource allocation to different models based on their demands, allowing efficient utilization of resources and serving a large number of models effectively.

Is it easy to scale up or down resources with the multiplex API?

—Yes, the multiplex API supports easy scaling up and down of resources, allowing you to allocate more or fewer resources to different models based on their usage patterns and demands.

What is the importance of observability and monitoring in managing an AI inference platform?

—Observability and monitoring are crucial for managing and maintaining an AI inference platform, providing insights into performance, detecting issues, and optimizing resource allocation.
