OpenLLM helps developers run any open-source LLMs, such as Llama 2 and Mistral, as OpenAI-compatible API endpoints, locally and in the cloud, optimized for serving throughput and production deployment.
- π Support a wide range of open-source LLMs including LLMs fine-tuned with your own data
- βοΈ OpenAI compatible API endpoints for seamless transition from your LLM app to open-source LLMs
- π₯ State-of-the-art serving and inference performance
- π― Simplified cloud deployment via BentoML
For starter, we provide two ways to quickly try out OpenLLM:
Try this OpenLLM tutorial in Google Colab: Serving Phi 3 with OpenLLM.
The following provides instructions for how to get started with OpenLLM locally.
You have installed Python 3.9 (or later) and pip
. We highly recommend using a Virtual Environment to prevent package conflicts.
Install OpenLLM by using pip
as follows:
pip install openllm
To verify the installation, run:
$ openllm -h
OpenLLM allows you to quickly spin up an LLM server using openllm start
. For example, to start a Phi-3 server, run the following:
openllm start microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct --trust-remote-code
To interact with the server, you can visit the web UI at http://0.0.0.0:3000/ or send a request using curl
. You can also use OpenLLMβs built-in Python client to interact with the server:
import openllm
client = openllm.HTTPClient('http://localhost:3000')
client.generate('Explain to me the difference between "further" and "farther"')
OpenLLM seamlessly supports many models and their variants. You can specify different variants of the model to be served. For example:
openllm start <model_id> --<options>
OpenLLM currently supports the following models. By default, OpenLLM doesn't include dependencies to run all models. The extra model-specific dependencies can be installed with the instructions below.

More models will be integrated with OpenLLM and we welcome your contributions if you want to incorporate your custom LLMs into the ecosystem. Check out Adding a New Model Guide to learn more.
Quantization is a technique to reduce the storage and computation requirements for machine learning models, particularly during inference. By approximating floating-point numbers as integers (quantized values), quantization allows for faster computations, reduced memory footprint, and can make it feasible to deploy large models on resource-constrained devices.
OpenLLM supports the following quantization techniques
- LLM.int8(): 8-bit Matrix Multiplication through bitsandbytes
- SpQR: A Sparse-Quantized Representation for Near-Lossless LLM Weight Compression through bitsandbytes
- AWQ: Activation-aware Weight Quantization,
- GPTQ: Accurate Post-Training Quantization
- SqueezeLLM: Dense-and-Sparse Quantization.
Note
Make sure to use pre-quantized models weights when using with openllm start
.
OpenLLM is not just a standalone product; it's a building block designed to integrate with other powerful tools easily. We currently offer integration with OpenAI's Compatible Endpoints, LlamaIndex, LangChain, and Transformers Agents.
OpenLLM Server can be used as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's API. Simply
specify the base_url to llm-endpoint/v1
and you are good to go:
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(base_url='http://localhost:3000/v1', api_key='na') # Here the server is running on 0.0.0.0:3000
completions = client.chat.completions.create(
prompt='Write me a tag line for an ice cream shop.', model=model, max_tokens=64, stream=stream
)
The compatible endpoints supports /completions
, /chat/completions
, and /models
Note
You can find out OpenAI example clients under the examples folder.
You can use llama_index.llms.openllm.OpenLLMAPI
to interact with a LLM running server:
from llama_index.llms.openllm import OpenLLMAPI
Note
All synchronous and asynchronous API from llama_index.llms.LLM
are supported.
Spin up an OpenLLM server, and connect to it by specifying its URL:
from langchain.llms import OpenLLM
llm = OpenLLM(server_url='http://44.23.123.1:3000', server_type='http')
llm('What is the difference between a duck and a goose? And why there are so many Goose in Canada?')
There are several ways to deploy your LLMs:
-
Building a Bento: With OpenLLM, you can easily build a Bento for a specific model, like
mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
, using thebuild
command.:openllm build mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
A Bento, in BentoML, is the unit of distribution. It packages your program's source code, models, files, artefacts, and dependencies.
-
Containerize your Bento
bentoml containerize <name:version>
This generates a OCI-compatible docker image that can be deployed anywhere docker runs. For best scalability and reliability of your LLM service in production, we recommend deploy with BentoCloudγ
Deploy OpenLLM with BentoCloud, the inference platform for fast moving AI teams.
-
Create a BentoCloud account: sign up here
-
Log into your BentoCloud account:
bentoml cloud login --api-token <your-api-token> --endpoint <bento-cloud-endpoint>
Note
Replace <your-api-token>
and <bento-cloud-endpoint>
with your
specific API token and the BentoCloud endpoint respectively.
-
Bulding a Bento: With OpenLLM, you can easily build a Bento for a specific model, such as
mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
:openllm build mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1
-
Pushing a Bento: Push your freshly-built Bento service to BentoCloud via the
push
command:bentoml push <name:version>
-
Deploying a Bento: Deploy your LLMs to BentoCloud with a single
bentoml deployment create
command following the deployment instructions.
