Petals

Run large language models at home, BitTorrent‑style

  • Generate text with Llama 3.1 (up to 405B), Mixtral (8x22B), Falcon (40B+) or BLOOM (176B) and fine‑tune them for your tasks — using a consumer-grade GPU or Google Colab.
  • You load a part of the model, then join a networkof people serving its other parts. Single‑batch inference runs at up to 6 tokens/sec for Llama 2 (70B) and up to 4 tokens/sec for Falcon (180B) — enough for chatbots and interactive apps.
  • Beyond classic LLM APIs — you can employ any fine-tuning and sampling methods, execute custom paths through the model, or see its hidden states. You get the comforts of an API with the flexibility of PyTorch and 🤗 Transformers.
