Inference
This project is a platform for the deployment of open source large language and multimodal models. It provides a unified interface to serve text, image, and speech models across local or cloud hardware.
The system enables distributed AI inference by orchestrating model workloads across multiple nodes and devices. It includes a unified API adapter layer to standardize inputs and outputs, as well as tools for multimodal chat and structural image generation.
The platform covers a broad capability surface including request batching for throughput optimization, dynamic model loading, and integration with autonomous agent frameworks through tool-based function calling. It also provides performance benchmarking tools to measure latency and throughput across varying context lengths.
Deployment is supported via Helm charts for automated configuration within containerized cluster environments.
