When deploying a big language mannequin (LLM), machine studying (ML) practitioners sometimes care about two measurements for mannequin serving efficiency: latency, outlined by the point it takes to generate a single token, and throughput, outlined by the variety of tokens generated per second. Though a single request to the deployed endpoint would exhibit a throughput roughly equal to the inverse of mannequin latency, this isn’t essentially the case when a number of concurrent requests are concurrently despatched to the endpoint. Attributable to mannequin serving methods, reminiscent of client-side steady batching of concurrent requests, latency and throughput have a posh relationship that varies considerably based mostly on mannequin structure, serving configurations, occasion kind {hardware}, variety of concurrent requests, and variations in enter payloads reminiscent of variety of enter tokens and output tokens.

This publish explores these relationships by way of a complete benchmarking of LLMs obtainable in Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, together with Llama 2, Falcon, and Mistral variants. With SageMaker JumpStart, ML practitioners can select from a broad number of publicly obtainable basis fashions to deploy to devoted Amazon SageMaker situations inside a network-isolated atmosphere. We offer theoretical rules on how accelerator specs influence LLM benchmarking. We additionally display the influence of deploying a number of situations behind a single endpoint. Lastly, we offer sensible suggestions for tailoring the SageMaker JumpStart deployment course of to align together with your necessities on latency, throughput, value, and constraints on obtainable occasion sorts. All of the benchmarking outcomes in addition to suggestions are based mostly on a flexible pocket book which you could adapt to your use case.

Deployed endpoint benchmarking

The next determine exhibits the bottom latencies (left) and highest throughput (proper) values for deployment configurations throughout quite a lot of mannequin sorts and occasion sorts. Importantly, every of those mannequin deployments use default configurations as offered by SageMaker JumpStart given the specified mannequin ID and occasion kind for deployment.

These latency and throughput values correspond to payloads with 256 enter tokens and 256 output tokens. The bottom latency configuration limits mannequin serving to a single concurrent request, and the best throughput configuration maximizes the potential variety of concurrent requests. As we will see in our benchmarking, rising concurrent requests monotonically will increase throughput with diminishing enchancment for giant concurrent requests. Moreover, fashions are absolutely sharded on the supported occasion. For instance, as a result of the ml.g5.48xlarge occasion has 8 GPUs, all SageMaker JumpStart fashions utilizing this occasion are sharded utilizing tensor parallelism on all eight obtainable accelerators.

We are able to notice just a few takeaways from this determine. First, not all fashions are supported on all situations; some smaller fashions, reminiscent of Falcon 7B, don’t help mannequin sharding, whereas bigger fashions have greater compute useful resource necessities. Second, as sharding will increase, efficiency sometimes improves, however could not essentially enhance for small fashions. It is because small fashions reminiscent of 7B and 13B incur a considerable communication overhead when sharded throughout too many accelerators. We talk about this in additional depth later. Lastly, ml.p4d.24xlarge situations are likely to have considerably higher throughput as a result of reminiscence bandwidth enhancements of A100 over A10G GPUs. As we talk about later, the choice to make use of a selected occasion kind depends upon your deployment necessities, together with latency, throughput, and price constraints.

How are you going to acquire these lowest latency and highest throughput configuration values? Let’s begin by plotting latency vs. throughput for a Llama 2 7B endpoint on an ml.g5.12xlarge occasion for a payload with 256 enter tokens and 256 output tokens, as seen within the following curve. An analogous curve exists for each deployed LLM endpoint.

As concurrency will increase, throughput and latency additionally monotonically improve. Due to this fact, the bottom latency level happens at a concurrent request worth of 1, and you’ll cost-effectively improve system throughput by rising concurrent requests. There exists a definite “knee” on this curve, the place it’s apparent that the throughput good points related to extra concurrency don’t outweigh the related improve in latency. The precise location of this knee is use case-specific; some practitioners could outline the knee on the level the place a pre-specified latency requirement is exceeded (for instance, 100 ms/token), whereas others could use load take a look at benchmarks and queueing principle strategies just like the half-latency rule, and others could use theoretical accelerator specs.

We additionally notice that the utmost variety of concurrent requests is proscribed. Within the previous determine, the road hint ends with 192 concurrent requests. The supply of this limitation is the SageMaker invocation timeout restrict, the place SageMaker endpoints timeout an invocation response after 60 seconds. This setting is account-specific and never configurable for a person endpoint. For LLMs, producing a lot of output tokens can take seconds and even minutes. Due to this fact, massive enter or output payloads could cause the invocation requests to fail. Moreover, if the variety of concurrent requests may be very massive, then many requests will expertise massive queue instances, driving this 60-second timeout restrict. For the aim of this research, we use the timeout restrict to outline the utmost throughput potential for a mannequin deployment. Importantly, though a SageMaker endpoint could deal with a lot of concurrent requests with out observing an invocation response timeout, it’s possible you’ll wish to outline most concurrent requests with respect to the knee within the latency-throughput curve. That is doubtless the purpose at which you begin to take into account horizontal scaling, the place a single endpoint provisions a number of situations with mannequin replicas and cargo balances incoming requests between the replicas, to help extra concurrent requests.

Taking this one step additional, the next desk incorporates benchmarking outcomes for various configurations for the Llama 2 7B mannequin, together with totally different variety of enter and output tokens, occasion sorts, and variety of concurrent requests. Word that the previous determine solely plots a single row of this desk.

We observe some extra patterns on this knowledge. When rising context dimension, latency will increase and throughput decreases. As an example, on ml.g5.2xlarge with a concurrency of 1, throughput is 30 tokens/sec when the variety of complete tokens is 512, vs. 20 tokens/sec if the variety of complete tokens is 4,096. It is because it takes extra time to course of the bigger enter. We are able to additionally see that rising GPU functionality and sharding impacts the utmost throughput and most supported concurrent requests. The desk exhibits that Llama 2 7B has notably totally different most throughput values for various occasion sorts, and these most throughput values happen at totally different values of concurrent requests. These traits would drive an ML practitioner to justify the price of one occasion over one other. For instance, given a low latency requirement, the practitioner would possibly choose an ml.g5.12xlarge occasion (4 A10G GPUs) over an ml.g5.2xlarge occasion (1 A10G GPU). If given a excessive throughput requirement, using an ml.p4d.24xlarge occasion (8 A100 GPUs) with full sharding would solely be justified underneath excessive concurrency. Word, nevertheless, that it’s typically helpful to as a substitute load a number of inference elements of a 7B mannequin on a single ml.p4d.24xlarge occasion; such multi-model help is mentioned later on this publish.

The previous observations had been made for the Llama 2 7B mannequin. Nevertheless, related patterns stay true for different fashions as properly. A main takeaway is that latency and throughput efficiency numbers are depending on payload, occasion kind, and variety of concurrent requests, so you will want to seek out the best configuration in your particular software. To generate the previous numbers in your use case, you may run the linked pocket book, the place you may configure this load take a look at evaluation in your mannequin, occasion kind, and payload.

Making sense of accelerator specs

Choosing appropriate {hardware} for LLM inference depends closely on particular use circumstances, person expertise objectives, and the chosen LLM. This part makes an attempt to create an understanding of the knee within the latency-throughput curve with respect to high-level rules based mostly on accelerator specs. These rules alone don’t suffice to decide: actual benchmarks are needed. The time period system is used right here to embody all ML {hardware} accelerators. We assert the knee within the latency-throughput curve is pushed by one in all two elements:

• The accelerator has exhausted reminiscence to cache KV matrices, so subsequent requests are queued
• The accelerator nonetheless has spare reminiscence for the KV cache, however is utilizing a big sufficient batch dimension that processing time is pushed by compute operation latency quite than reminiscence bandwidth

We sometimes want to be restricted by the second issue as a result of this suggests the accelerator assets are saturated. Mainly, you’re maximizing the assets you payed for. Let’s discover this assertion in larger element.

KV caching and system reminiscence

Normal transformer consideration mechanisms compute consideration for every new token towards all earlier tokens. Most trendy ML servers cache consideration keys and values in system reminiscence (DRAM) to keep away from re-computation at each step. That is known as this the KV cache, and it grows with batch dimension and sequence size. It defines what number of person requests might be served in parallel and can decide the knee within the latency-throughput curve if the compute-bound regime within the second state of affairs talked about earlier shouldn’t be but met, given the obtainable DRAM. The next formulation is a tough approximation for the utmost KV cache dimension.

On this formulation, B is batch dimension and N is variety of accelerators. For instance, the Llama 2 7B mannequin in FP16 (2 bytes/parameter) served on an A10G GPU (24 GB DRAM) consumes roughly 14 GB, leaving 10 GB for the KV cache. Plugging within the mannequin’s full context size (N = 4096) and remaining parameters (n_layers=32, n_kv_attention_heads=32, and d_attention_head=128), this expression exhibits we’re restricted to serving a batch dimension of 4 customers in parallel as a result of DRAM constraints. If you happen to observe the corresponding benchmarks within the earlier desk, this can be a good approximation for the noticed knee on this latency-throughput curve. Strategies reminiscent of grouped question consideration (GQA) can scale back the KV cache dimension, in GQA’s case by the identical issue it reduces the variety of KV heads.

Arithmetic depth and system reminiscence bandwidth

The expansion within the computational energy of ML accelerators has outpaced their reminiscence bandwidth, that means they’ll carry out many extra computations on every byte of knowledge within the period of time it takes to entry that byte.

The arithmetic depth, or the ratio of compute operations to reminiscence accesses, for an operation determines whether it is restricted by reminiscence bandwidth or compute capability on the chosen {hardware}. For instance, an A10G GPU (g5 occasion kind household) with 70 TFLOPS FP16 and 600 GB/sec bandwidth can compute roughly 116 ops/byte. An A100 GPU (p4d occasion kind household) can compute roughly 208 ops/byte. If the arithmetic depth for a transformer mannequin is underneath that worth, it’s memory-bound; whether it is above, it’s compute-bound. The eye mechanism for Llama 2 7B requires 62 ops/byte for batch dimension 1 (for a proof, see A information to LLM inference and efficiency), which suggests it’s memory-bound. When the eye mechanism is memory-bound, costly FLOPS are left unutilized.

There are two methods to raised make the most of the accelerator and improve arithmetic depth: scale back the required reminiscence accesses for the operation (that is what FlashAttention focuses on) or improve the batch dimension. Nevertheless, we would not be capable to improve our batch dimension sufficient to achieve a compute-bound regime if our DRAM is simply too small to carry the corresponding KV cache. A crude approximation of the essential batch dimension B* that separates compute-bound from memory-bound regimes for traditional GPT decoder inference is described by the next expression, the place A_mb is the accelerator reminiscence bandwidth, A_f is accelerator FLOPS, and N is the variety of accelerators. This essential batch dimension might be derived by discovering the place reminiscence entry time equals computation time. Confer with this weblog publish to know Equation 2 and its assumptions in larger element.

This is identical ops/byte ratio we beforehand calculated for A10G, so the essential batch dimension on this GPU is 116. One strategy to strategy this theoretical, essential batch dimension is to extend mannequin sharding and break up the cache throughout extra N accelerators. This successfully will increase the KV cache capability in addition to the memory-bound batch dimension.

One other good thing about mannequin sharding is splitting mannequin parameter and knowledge loading work throughout N accelerators. The sort of sharding is a kind of mannequin parallelism additionally known as tensor parallelism. Naively, there’s N instances the reminiscence bandwidth and compute energy in mixture. Assuming no overhead of any variety (communication, software program, and so forth), this is able to lower decoding latency per token by N if we’re memory-bound, as a result of token decoding latency on this regime is certain by the point it takes to load the mannequin weights and cache. In actual life, nevertheless, rising the diploma of sharding leads to elevated communication between units to share intermediate activations at each mannequin layer. This communication velocity is proscribed by the system interconnect bandwidth. It’s troublesome to estimate its influence exactly (for particulars, see Mannequin parallelism), however this may finally cease yielding advantages or deteriorate efficiency — that is very true for smaller fashions, as a result of smaller knowledge transfers result in decrease switch charges.

To match ML accelerators based mostly on their specs, we advocate the next. First, calculate the approximate essential batch dimension for every accelerator kind based on the second equation and the KV cache dimension for the essential batch dimension based on the primary equation. You possibly can then use the obtainable DRAM on the accelerator to calculate the minimal variety of accelerators required to suit the KV cache and mannequin parameters. If deciding between a number of accelerators, prioritize accelerators so as of lowest value per GB/sec of reminiscence bandwidth. Lastly, benchmark these configurations and confirm what’s the greatest value/token in your higher certain of desired latency.

Choose an endpoint deployment configuration

Many LLMs distributed by SageMaker JumpStart use the text-generation-inference (TGI) SageMaker container for mannequin serving. The next desk discusses how you can regulate quite a lot of mannequin serving parameters to both have an effect on mannequin serving which impacts the latency-throughput curve or defend the endpoint towards requests that may overload the endpoint. These are the first parameters you should utilize to configure your endpoint deployment in your use case. Except in any other case specified, we use default textual content era payload parameters and TGI atmosphere variables.

The TGI server makes use of steady batching, which dynamically batches concurrent requests collectively to share a single mannequin inference ahead move. There are two kinds of ahead passes: prefill and decode. Every new request should run a single prefill ahead move to populate the KV cache for the enter sequence tokens. After the KV cache is populated, a decode ahead move performs a single next-token prediction for all batched requests, which is iteratively repeated to supply the output sequence. As new requests are despatched to the server, the subsequent decode step should wait so the prefill step can run for the brand new requests. This should happen earlier than these new requests are included in subsequent repeatedly batched decode steps. Attributable to {hardware} constraints, the continual batching used for decoding could not embody all requests. At this level, requests enter a processing queue and inference latency begins to considerably improve with solely minor throughput achieve.

It’s potential to separate LLM latency benchmarking analyses into prefill latency, decode latency, and queue latency. The time consumed by every of those elements is essentially totally different in nature: prefill is a one-time computation, decoding happens one time for every token within the output sequence, and queueing entails server batching processes. When a number of concurrent requests are being processed, it turns into troublesome to disentangle the latencies from every of those elements as a result of the latency skilled by any given shopper request entails queue latencies pushed by the necessity to prefill new concurrent requests in addition to queue latencies pushed by the inclusion of the request in batch decoding processes. For that reason, this publish focuses on end-to-end processing latency. The knee within the latency-throughput curve happens on the level of saturation the place queue latencies begin to considerably improve. This phenomenon happens for any mannequin inference server and is pushed by accelerator specs.

Widespread necessities throughout deployment embody satisfying a minimal required throughput, most allowed latency, most value per hour, and most value to generate 1 million tokens. It is best to situation these necessities on payloads that symbolize end-user requests. A design to fulfill these necessities ought to take into account many elements, together with the particular mannequin structure, dimension of the mannequin, occasion sorts, and occasion depend (horizontal scaling). Within the following sections, we concentrate on deploying endpoints to reduce latency, maximize throughput, and reduce value. This evaluation considers 512 complete tokens and 256 output tokens.

Decrease latency

Latency is a vital requirement in lots of real-time use circumstances. Within the following desk, we have a look at minimal latency for every mannequin and every occasion kind. You possibly can obtain minimal latency by setting MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS = 1.

To realize minimal latency for a mannequin, you should utilize the next code whereas substituting your required mannequin ID and occasion kind:

from sagemaker.jumpstart.mannequin import JumpStartModel

mannequin = JumpStartModel(
    model_id="meta-textgeneration-llama-2-7b",
    model_version="3.*",
    instance_type="ml.g5.12xlarge",
    env={
        "MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS": "1",
        "MAX_INPUT_TOKENS": "256",
        "MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS": "512",
    },
)
predictor = mannequin.deploy(accept_eula=False)  # Change EULA acceptance to True

Word that the latency numbers change relying on the variety of enter and output tokens. Nevertheless, the deployment course of stays the identical besides the atmosphere variables MAX_INPUT_TOKENS and MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS. Right here, these atmosphere variables are set to assist assure endpoint latency necessities as a result of bigger enter sequences could violate the latency requirement. Word that SageMaker JumpStart already supplies the opposite optimum atmosphere variables when choosing occasion kind; as an example, utilizing ml.g5.12xlarge will set SM_NUM_GPUS to 4 within the mannequin atmosphere.

Maximize throughput

On this part, we maximize the variety of generated tokens per second. That is sometimes achieved on the most legitimate concurrent requests for the mannequin and the occasion kind. Within the following desk, we report the throughput achieved on the largest concurrent request worth achieved earlier than encountering a SageMaker invocation timeout for any request.

To realize most throughput for a mannequin, you should utilize the next code:

from sagemaker.jumpstart.mannequin import JumpStartModel

mannequin = JumpStartModel(
    model_id="meta-textgeneration-llama-2-7b",
    model_version="3.*",
    instance_type="ml.g5.12xlarge",
    env={
        "MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS": "128",  # On your software, establish it from the benchmarking desk with the utmost possible concurrent requests.
        "MAX_INPUT_TOKENS": "256",
        "MAX_TOTAL_TOKENS": "512",
    },
)
predictor = mannequin.deploy(accept_eula=False)  # Change EULA acceptance to True

Word that the utmost variety of concurrent requests depends upon the mannequin kind, occasion kind, most variety of enter tokens, and most variety of output tokens. Due to this fact, it’s best to set these parameters earlier than setting MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS.

Additionally notice {that a} person interested by minimizing latency is commonly at odds with a person interested by maximizing throughput. The previous is interested by real-time responses, whereas the latter is interested by batch processing such that the endpoint queue is at all times saturated, thereby minimizing processing downtime. Customers who wish to maximize throughput conditioned on latency necessities are sometimes interested by working on the knee within the latency-throughput curve.

Decrease value

The primary choice to reduce value entails minimizing value per hour. With this, you may deploy a particular mannequin on the SageMaker occasion with the bottom value per hour. For real-time pricing of SageMaker situations, discuss with Amazon SageMaker pricing. Usually, the default occasion kind for SageMaker JumpStart LLMs is the lowest-cost deployment choice.

The second choice to reduce value entails minimizing the fee to generate 1 million tokens. It is a easy transformation of the desk we mentioned earlier to maximise throughput, the place you may first compute the time it takes in hours to generate 1 million tokens (1e6 / throughput / 3600). You possibly can then multiply this time to generate 1 million tokens with the worth per hour of the required SageMaker occasion.

Word that situations with the bottom value per hour aren’t the identical as situations with the bottom value to generate 1 million tokens. As an example, if the invocation requests are sporadic, an occasion with the bottom value per hour is perhaps optimum, whereas within the throttling situations, the bottom value to generate one million tokens is perhaps extra acceptable.

Tensor parallel vs. multi-model trade-off

In all earlier analyses, we thought of deploying a single mannequin reproduction with a tensor parallel diploma equal to the variety of GPUs on the deployment occasion kind. That is the default SageMaker JumpStart conduct. Nevertheless, as beforehand famous, sharding a mannequin can enhance mannequin latency and throughput solely as much as a sure restrict, past which inter-device communication necessities dominate computation time. This means that it’s typically helpful to deploy a number of fashions with a decrease tensor parallel diploma on a single occasion quite than a single mannequin with the next tensor parallel diploma.

Right here, we deploy Llama 2 7B and 13B endpoints on ml.p4d.24xlarge situations with tensor parallel (TP) levels of 1, 2, 4, and eight. For readability in mannequin conduct, every of those endpoints solely load a single mannequin.

Our earlier analyses already confirmed vital throughput benefits on ml.p4d.24xlarge situations, which frequently interprets to raised efficiency when it comes to value to generate 1 million tokens over the g5 occasion household underneath excessive concurrent request load circumstances. This evaluation clearly demonstrates that it’s best to take into account the trade-off between mannequin sharding and mannequin replication inside a single occasion; that’s, a totally sharded mannequin shouldn’t be sometimes one of the best use of  ml.p4d.24xlarge compute assets for 7B and 13B mannequin households. In reality, for the 7B mannequin household, you acquire one of the best throughput for a single mannequin reproduction with a tensor parallel diploma of 4 as a substitute of 8.

From right here, you may extrapolate that the best throughput configuration for the 7B mannequin entails a tensor parallel diploma of 1 with eight mannequin replicas, and the best throughput configuration for the 13B mannequin is probably going a tensor parallel diploma of two with 4 mannequin replicas. To study extra about how you can accomplish this, discuss with Cut back mannequin deployment prices by 50% on common utilizing the most recent options of Amazon SageMaker, which demonstrates using inference component-based endpoints. Attributable to load balancing methods, server routing, and sharing of CPU assets, you won’t absolutely obtain throughput enhancements precisely equal to the variety of replicas instances the throughput for a single reproduction.

Horizontal scaling

As noticed earlier, every endpoint deployment has a limitation on the variety of concurrent requests relying on the variety of enter and output tokens in addition to the occasion kind. If this doesn’t meet your throughput or concurrent request requirement, you may scale as much as make the most of a couple of occasion behind the deployed endpoint. SageMaker robotically performs load balancing of queries between situations. For instance, the next code deploys an endpoint supported by three situations:

mannequin = JumpStartModel(
    model_id="meta-textgeneration-llama-2-7b",
    model_version="3.*",
    instance_type="ml.g5.2xlarge",
)
predictor = mannequin.deploy(
    accept_eula=False,  # Change EULA acceptance to True
    initial_instance_count = 3,
)

The next desk exhibits the throughput achieve as an element of variety of situations for the Llama 2 7B mannequin.

Notably, the knee within the latency-throughput curve shifts to the proper as a result of greater occasion counts can deal with bigger numbers of concurrent requests throughout the multi-instance endpoint. For this desk, the concurrent request worth is for your entire endpoint, not the variety of concurrent requests that every particular person occasion receives.

You can too use autoscaling, a function to watch your workloads and dynamically regulate the capability to take care of regular and predictable efficiency on the potential lowest value. That is past the scope of this publish. To study extra about autoscaling, discuss with Configuring autoscaling inference endpoints in Amazon SageMaker.

Invoke endpoint with concurrent requests

Let’s suppose you may have a big batch of queries that you simply wish to use to generate responses from a deployed mannequin underneath excessive throughput circumstances. For instance, within the following code block, we compile a listing of 1,000 payloads, with every payload requesting the era of 100 tokens. In all, we’re requesting the era of 100,000 tokens.

payload = {
    "inputs": "I consider the that means of life is to ",
    "parameters": {"max_new_tokens": 100, "particulars": True},
}
total_requests = 1000
payloads = [payload,] * total_requests

When sending a lot of requests to the SageMaker runtime API, it’s possible you’ll expertise throttling errors. To mitigate this, you may create a customized SageMaker runtime shopper that will increase the variety of retry makes an attempt. You possibly can present the ensuing SageMaker session object to both the JumpStartModel constructor or sagemaker.predictor.retrieve_default if you need to connect a brand new predictor to an already deployed endpoint. Within the following code, we use this session object when deploying a Llama 2 mannequin with default SageMaker JumpStart configurations:

import boto3
from botocore.config import Config
from sagemaker.session import Session
from sagemaker.jumpstart.mannequin import JumpStartModel

sagemaker_session = Session(
    sagemaker_runtime_client=boto3.shopper(
        "sagemaker-runtime",
        config=Config(connect_timeout=10, retries={"mode": "commonplace", "total_max_attempts": 20}),
    )
)
mannequin = JumpStartModel(
    model_id="meta-textgeneration-llama-2-7b",
    model_version="3.*",
    sagemaker_session=sagemaker_session
)
predictor = mannequin.deploy(accept_eula=False)  # Change EULA acceptance to True

This deployed endpoint has MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS = 128 by default. Within the following block, we use the concurrent futures library to iterate over invoking the endpoint for all payloads with 128 employee threads. At most, the endpoint will course of 128 concurrent requests, and every time a request returns a response, the executor will instantly ship a brand new request to the endpoint.

import time
from concurrent import futures

concurrent_requests = 128

time_start = time.time()
with futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=concurrent_requests) as executor:
    responses = checklist(executor.map(predictor.predict, payloads))

total_tokens = sum([response[0]["details"]["generated_tokens"] for response in responses])
token_throughput = total_tokens / (time.time() - time_start)

This leads to producing 100,000 complete tokens with a throughput of 1255 tokens/sec on a single ml.g5.2xlarge occasion. This takes roughly 80 seconds to course of.

Word that this throughput worth is notably totally different than the utmost throughput for Llama 2 7B on ml.g5.2xlarge within the earlier tables of this publish (486 tokens/sec at 64 concurrent requests). It is because the enter payload makes use of 8 tokens as a substitute of 256, the output token depend is 100 as a substitute of 256, and the smaller token counts permit for 128 concurrent requests. It is a remaining reminder that each one latency and throughput numbers are payload dependent! Altering payload token counts will have an effect on batching processes throughout mannequin serving, which can in flip have an effect on the emergent prefill, decode, and queue instances in your software.

Conclusion

On this publish, we introduced benchmarking of SageMaker JumpStart LLMs, together with Llama 2, Mistral, and Falcon. We additionally introduced a information to optimize latency, throughput, and price in your endpoint deployment configuration. You may get began by operating the related pocket book to benchmark your use case.
