• You would need to note down the S3 Link of the Model file from AWS. A sample of how the S3 link is like -> s3://infer-global-models/sample-module/gpt2-medium-1.5gb.zip

Steps to import model file from AWS S3

​
Step 1: Add Model in your workspace.

  • Navigate to your desired workspace in Inferless and Click on "Add a custom model" button that you see on the top right. An import wizard will open up.

Click on Add Model

​
Step 2: Choose the source of your model.

  • Since we are using a model from AWS S3 in this example, select AWS S3 as the method of uploading.
  • To proceed with the upload, you will need to connect your AWS account. This is a mandatory step as this helps us download the file from your AWS account.

After you have selected Repo

​
Step 3: Enter the model details

  • Provide the Cloud URL, which is a S3 Link of the Model file from AWS.
  • Model Name: The desired name of the model that you wish to give.
  • Sample Input: Enter an example of how the input should be formatted for the model in JSON format.
  • Sample Output: Enter an example of how the output would be formatted for the model in JSON format.

    Enter the details as noted
    • In case you would like to set up Automatic rebuild for your model, enable it
      • You would need to set up a webhook for this method. Click here for more details.

​
Step 4: Configure Machine and Environment.

  • Choose the type of machine, and specify the minimum and maximum number of replicas for deploying your model.
    • Min scale -
    The number of inference workers to keep on at all times.
    • Max scale -
    The maximum number of inference workers to allow at any point of time
    • Configure Custom Runtime ( If you have pip or apt packages), choose Volume, Secrets and set Environment variables like Inference Timeout / Container Concurrency / Scale Down Timeout

Set runtime and configuration

​
Step 5: Review your model details

  • Once you click “Continue,” you will be able to review the details added for the model.
  • If you would like to make any changes, you can go back and make the changes.
  • Once you have reviewed everything, click Deploy to start the model import process.

Review all the details carefully before proceeding

​
Step 6 : Run your model

  • Once you click submit, the model import process would start.
  • It may take some time to complete the import process, and during this time, you will be redirected to your workspace and can see the status of the import under "In Progress/Failed" tab.

    View the model under `In-Progress/ Failed`
  • If you encounter any errors during the model import process or if you want to view the build logs for any reason, you can click on the three dots menu and select “View build logs”. This will show you a detailed log of the import process, which can help you troubleshoot any issues you may encounter.
  • Post-upload, the model will be available under “My Models”
  • You can then select the model and go to -> API -> Inference Endpoint details. Here you would find the API endpoints that can be called. You can click on the copy button on the right and can call your model.

Under the API Tab, you can view the API endpoint details.

​
Extra Step: Getting API key details

  • You can now call using this from your end. The inference result would be the output for these calls.
  • In case you need help with API Keys:
    • Click on settings, available on the top, next to your Workspace Name
    • Click on “Workspace API keys”
    • You can view the details of your key or generate a new one

      Sample for now

Using CLI

Make sure you follow this below folder structure in the zip file 
.
|--config.pbtxt (optional)
|--input.json
|--output.json
|--1/
|--|--model.xxx ( pt/onnx/tf )
  1. Connect your AWS S3 account using this below command and enter the name, access-key and secret-key 
    inferless integration add S3 --name <integrationname> --access-key <accesskey> --secret-key <secretkey>
  2. Once your integration is done. You can initialise the model using this command 
    inferless init file --name <name> --provider s3 --url <url> --framework <pytorch/onnx/tensorflow> --autobuild
  3. Now that your model is initialised.
    • To do default deployment use this command
    inferless deploy --gpu t4
    • To do customised deployment use this command
    inferless deploy --gpu t4 --region <regionname> --runtime <runtimename> --volume <volumename> --fractional
