Self-host LLMs with SGLang and BentoML

This repository contains a group of BentoML example projects, showing you how to serve and deploy open-source LLMs using SGLang, a fast serving framework for LLMs and VLMs.

💡 You can use these examples as bases for advanced code customization. For simple LLM hosting with OpenAI-compatible endpoints without writing any code, see OpenLLM.

See here for a full list of BentoML example projects.

The following is an example of serving one of the LLMs in this repository: Llama 3.1 8B.

Prerequisites

• You have gained access to Llama 3.1 8B on Hugging Face.
• If you want to test the Service locally, we recommend you use an Nvidia GPU with at least 16G VRAM.

Install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/bentoml/BentoSGLang.git
cd BentoSGLang/llama3.1-8b-instruct

# Recommend Python 3.11
pip install -r requirements.txt

export HF_TOEKN=<your-api-key>

Run the BentoML Service

We have defined a BentoML Service in service.py. Run bentoml serve in your project directory to start the Service.

$ bentoml serve .

2024-11-12T02:47:06+0000 [INFO] [cli] Starting production HTTP BentoServer from "service:SGL" listening on http://localhost:3000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
2024-11-12T02:49:31+0000 [INFO] [entry_service:bentosglang-llama3.1-8b-instruct-service:1] Service bentosglang-llama3.1-8b-instruct-service initialized

The server is now active at http://localhost:3000. You can interact with it using the Swagger UI or in other different ways.

Python client

import bentoml

with bentoml.SyncHTTPClient("http://localhost:3000") as client:
    response_generator = client.generate(
        prompt="Explain superconductors in plain English",
        max_tokens=1024
    )
    for response in response_generator:
        print(response, end='')

Deploy to BentoCloud

After the Service is ready, you can deploy the application to BentoCloud for better management and scalability. Sign up if you haven't got a BentoCloud account.

Make sure you have logged in to BentoCloud.

bentoml cloud login

Create a BentoCloud secret to store the required environment variable and reference it for deployment.

bentoml secret create huggingface HF_TOKEN=$HF_TOKEN

bentoml deploy . --secret huggingface

Note: For custom deployment in your own infrastructure, use BentoML to generate an OCI-compliant image.
