What it does

vMLX is a Python tool that provides an optimized and compressed model serving solution with L2 disk cache, L1 paged cache, and hybrid scheduler for fast and efficient model deployment

Install / run
git clone https://github.com/jjang-ai/vmlx && cd vmlx
When to use it
  • โ€ขWhen you need to deploy large machine learning models and want to reduce memory usage
  • โ€ขWhen you require fast model serving and inference with low latency
  • โ€ขWhen you want to survive model serving interruptions, such as restarts, with a disk cache
Quick start
  1. 1Clone the vMLX repository and navigate to the project directory
  2. 2Install the required dependencies with `pip install -r requirements.txt`
  3. 3Configure the model serving settings in the `config.json` file
  4. 4Start the vMLX server with `python app.py`
  5. 5Test the model serving with a sample request using `curl` or a tool like Postman
Ready-to-paste prompt
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '@input.json' http://localhost:8000/predict
Heads up: Make sure you have the correct Python version installed, as vMLX has specific dependencies and may not be compatible with all Python versions
