Introducing Friendli Serverless Endpoints
This tutorial will guide you through Friendli Serverless Endpoints, allowing you to seamlessly integrate state-of-the-art AI models into your workflows, regardless of your technical expertise. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious newcomer, get ready to unlock the limitless potential of generative AI!
What are Friendli Serverless Endpoints?
Imagine there is a powerful racecar (a generative AI model) that needs much maintenance and tuning (infrastructure and technical know-how). Friendli Serverless Endpoints is like a rental service, taking care of the hassle so you can just drive! It provides a simple, serverless interface that connects you to Friendli Engine, a high-performance, cost-effective inference serving engine optimized for generative AI models. With Friendli Serverless Endpoints, you can:
- Access popular open-source models: Get started with pre-loaded models like Mixtral and Llama 3.1. No need to worry about downloading or optimizing them.
- Build your own workflows: Integrate these models into your applications with just a few lines of code. Generate creative text formats, code, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. and create stunning images with ease.
- Pay per token, not per GPU: Unlike traditional solutions that require whole GPU instances, Friendli Serverless Endpoints bills you only for the resources your models actually use. This translates to significant cost savings and efficient resource utilization.
- Focus on what matters: Forget about infrastructure setup and GPU optimization. Friendli Serverless Endpoints handles the heavy lifting, freeing you to focus on your creative vision and application development.
