Overview

Friendli Documentation

Friendli Suite empowers you to explore generative AI with three solutions: Serverless Endpoints for quick access to open-source models, Dedicated Endpoints for deploying custom models on dedicated GPUs, and Containers for secure, on-premise control. Powered by the optimized Friendli Engine, each option ensures fast, cost-efficient AI serving for text, code, and image generation.

Introduction

Unleash the Power of Generative AI with Friendli Suite: Your End-to-End Solution

Learn how to manage credentials in Friendli Suite, including using personal access tokens for authentication and authorization.

Personal Access Tokens

Friendli Dedicated Endpoints gives you the reins to explore the full potential of your custom generative AI models on the hardware of your choice, whether you're crafting innovative eloquent texts, generating stunning images, or even more.

Introducing Friendli Dedicated Endpoints

Learn how to get started with Friendli Dedicated Endpoints in this step-by-step guide. Create an account, select your project, choose a model you wish to serve, deploy your endpoint, and seamlessly generate text, code, and more with ease.

QuickStart

QuickStart: Friendli Dedicated Endpoints

Friendli Dedicated Endpoints projects are a basic working unit for your team.

Projects

Within your Friendli Dedicated Endpoints projects you can prepare and manage the models that you wish to deploy. You may upload your models within your project to deploy them directly on your endpoints. Alternatively, you may manage them on the HuggingFace repository or Weights & Biases artifacts, as our endpoints can load models from your project, HuggingFace repositories, and Weights & Biases artifacts.

Models

Endpoints are the actual deployments of your models on your specified GPU resource.

Endpoints

Effortlessly fine-tune your model with Friendli Dedicated Endpoints, which leverages the Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) method to reduce training costs while preserving model quality, similar to full-parameter fine-tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting

While Friendli Serverless Endpoints and Dedicated Endpoints offer convenient cloud-based solutions, some users crave even more control and flexibility. For those pioneers, Friendli Container is the answer.

Introducing Friendli Container

Learn how to get started with Friendli Container in this step-by-step guide. Activate your free trial, access to the Container registry, perpare you container secret, run your Friendli Container, and monitor using Granfana.

QuickStart: Friendli Container Trial

Friendli Container enables you to effortlessly deploy your generative AI model on your own machine. This tutorial will guide you through the process of running a Friendli Container.

Running Friendli Container

The Friendli Engine supports CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs, which means it relies on a specific version of CUDA and necessitates proper CUDA compute compatibilities.

CUDA Compatibility

Tutorial for serving quantized model with Friendli Engine. Friendli Engine supports FP8, IN8, and AWQ-ed model checkpoints.

Serving Quantized Models

The Friendli Engine introduces an innovative approach to this challenge through Multi-LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) serving, a method that allows for the simultaneous serving of multiple LLMs, optimized for specific tasks without the need for extensive retraining.

Serving Multi-LoRA Models

Explore the steps to serve Mixture of Experts (MoE) models such as Mixtral 8x7B using Friendli Container.

Serving MoE Models

For specialized cases like MoE or quantized models, optimizing the execution policy in Friendli Engine can boost inference performance by 1.5x to 2x, improving throughput and reducing latency.

Optimizing Inference with Policy Search

Create a real-time inference endpoint in Amazon SageMaker with Friendli Container backend. By utilizing Friendli Container in your SageMaker pipeline, you'll benefit from the Friendli Engine's speed and resource efficiency.

Running Friendli Container on SageMaker

Run gRPC inference server with Friendli Container and interact with it through friendli-client SDK.
