Serve 100 Large AI models on a single GPU with low impact to TTFT

I wanted to build an inference provider for proprietary AI models, but I did not have a huge GPU farm. I started experimenting with Serverless AI inference, but found out that coldstarts were huge. I went deep into the research and put together an engine that loads large models from SSD to VRAM up to ten times faster than alternatives. It works with vLLM, and transformers, and more coming soon. With this project you can hot-swap entire large models (32B) on demand. Its great for: Serverless AI Inference Robotics On Prem deployments Local Agents And Its open source. Let me know if anyone…

What it does

Contribute to leoheuler/flashtensors development by creating an account on GitHub.

A blazing-fast inference engine that loads models from SSD to GPU VRAM up to 10x faster than alternative loaders. Hotswap large models in < 2 seconds . Acknowledgement: This project includes substantial code originally developed by ServerlessLLM , used under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Traditional model loaders slow down your workflow with painful startup times. flashtensors is built on top of ServerlessLLM storage library to eliminate bottlenecks and maximize performance. The result: An inference engine that scales by usage not by model. Our Goal is to make it dead simple to run large models on any device without having to wait minutes for startup times. Flashtensors offers a simple…from github.com

    I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem2025 · tinytpu.com · ▲134

    We wanted to do something very challenging to prove to ourselves that we can do anything we put our mind to. The reasoning for why we chose to build a toy TPU specifically is fairly simple: - Building a chip for ML workloads seemed cool - There was no well-documented open source repo for an ML accelerator that performed both inference and training None of us have real professional experience in hardware design, which, in a way, made the TPU even more appealing since we weren't able to estimate exactly how difficult it would be. As we worked on the initial stages of this project, we…
