Kaito is an operator that automates the AI/ML inference model deployment in a Kubernetes cluster. The target models are popular large open-sourced inference models such as falcon and llama2. Kaito has the following key differentiations compared to most of the mainstream model deployment methodologies built on top of virtual machine infrastructures:
- Manage large model files using container images. A http server is provided to perform inference calls using the model library.
- Avoid tuning deployment parameters to fit GPU hardware by providing preset configurations.
- Auto-provision GPU nodes based on model requirements.
- Host large model images in the public Microsoft Container Registry (MCR) if the license allows.
Using Kaito, the workflow of onboarding large AI inference models in Kubernetes is largely simplified.
Kaito follows the classic Kubernetes Custom Resource Definition(CRD)/controller design pattern. User manages a workspace custom resource which describes the GPU requirements and the inference specification. Kaito controllers will automate the deployment by reconciling the workspace custom resource.
The above figure presents the Kaito architecture overview. Its major components consist of:
- Workspace controller: It reconciles the
workspacecustom resource, createsmachine(explained below) custom resources to trigger node auto provisioning, and creates the inference workload (deploymentorstatefulset) based on the model preset configurations. - Node provisioner controller: The controller's name is gpu-provisioner in gpu-provisioner helm chart. It uses the
machineCRD originated from Karpenter to interact with the workspace controller. It integrates with Azure Kubernetes Service(AKS) APIs to add new GPU nodes to the AKS cluster.
Note: The gpu-provisioner is an open sourced component. It can be replaced by other controllers if they support Karpenter-core APIs.
Please check the installation guidance here.
After installing Kaito, one can try following commands to start a falcon-7b inference service.
$ cat examples/kaito_workspace_falcon_7b.yaml
apiVersion: kaito.sh/v1alpha1
kind: Workspace
metadata:
name: workspace-falcon-7b
resource:
instanceType: "Standard_NC12s_v3"
labelSelector:
matchLabels:
apps: falcon-7b
inference:
preset:
name: "falcon-7b"
$ kubectl apply -f examples/kaito_workspace_falcon_7b.yamlThe workspace status can be tracked by running the following command. When the WORKSPACEREADY column becomes True, the model has been deployed successfully.
$ kubectl get workspace workspace-falcon-7b
NAME INSTANCE RESOURCEREADY INFERENCEREADY WORKSPACEREADY AGE
workspace-falcon-7b Standard_NC12s_v3 True True True 10mNext, one can find the inference service's cluster ip and use a temporal curl pod to test the service endpoint in the cluster.
$ kubectl get svc workspace-falcon-7b
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
workspace-falcon-7b ClusterIP <CLUSTERIP> <none> 80/TCP,29500/TCP 10m
export CLUSTERIP=$(kubectl get svc workspace-falcon-7b -o jsonpath="{.spec.clusterIPs[0]}")
$ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never curl --image=curlimages/curl -- curl -X POST http://$CLUSTERIP/chat -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"prompt\":\"YOUR QUESTION HERE\"}"The detailed usage for Kaito supported models can be found in HERE. In case users want to deploy their own containerized models, they can provide the pod template in the inference field of the workspace custom resource (please see API definitions for details). The controller will create a deployment workload using all provisioned GPU nodes. Note that currently the controller does NOT handle automatic model upgrade. It only creates inference workloads based on the preset configurations if the workloads do not exist.
The number of the supported models in Kaito is growing! Please check this document to see how to add a new supported model.
When using hosted public models, a user can delete the existing inference workload (Deployment of StatefulSet) manually, and the workspace controller will create a new one with the latest preset configuration (e.g., the image version) defined in the current release. For private models, it is recommended to create a new workspace with a new image version in the Spec.
Kaito provides a limited capability to override preset configurations for models that use transformer runtime manually.
To update parameters for a deployed model, perform kubectl edit against the workload, which could be either a StatefulSet or Deployment.
For example, to enable 4-bit quantization on a falcon-7b-instruct deployment, you would execute:
kubectl edit deployment workspace-falcon-7b-instructWithin the deployment specification, locate and modify the command field.
accelerate launch --num_processes 1 --num_machines 1 --machine_rank 0 --gpu_ids all inference_api.py --pipeline text-generation --torch_dtype bfloat16accelerate launch --num_processes 1 --num_machines 1 --machine_rank 0 --gpu_ids all inference_api.py --pipeline text-generation --torch_dtype bfloat16 --load_in_4bitCurrently, we allow users to change the following paramenters manually:
pipeline: For text-generation models this can be eithertext-generationorconversational.load_in_4bitorload_in_8bit: Model quantization resolution.
Should you need to customize other parameters, kindly file an issue for potential future inclusion.
The main distinction lies in their intended use cases. Instruct models are fine-tuned versions optimized for interactive chat applications. They are typically the preferred choice for most implementations due to their enhanced performance in conversational contexts. On the other hand, non-instruct, or raw models, are designed for further fine-tuning.
