A library for open source models, general availability for L4 GPUs, and performance benchmarking for ML inference
Introduction to quantizing ML models
Quantizing ML models like LLMs makes it possible to run big models on less expensive GPUs. But it must be done carefully to avoid quality reduction.
How to benchmark image generation models like Stable Diffusion XL
Benchmarking Stable Diffusion XL performance across latency, throughput, and cost depends on factors from hardware to model variant to inference config.
Understanding performance benchmarks for LLM inference
This guide helps you interpret LLM performance metrics to make direct comparisons on latency, throughput, and cost.

Faster Mixtral inference, Playground v2 image generation, and ComfyUI pipelines as API endpoints.
Faster Mixtral inference with TensorRT-LLM and quantization
Mixtral 8x7B structurally has faster inference than similarly-powerful Llama 2 70B, but we can make it even faster using TensorRT-LLM and int8 quantization.
Playground v2 vs Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 for text-to-image generation
Playground v2, a new text-to-image model, matches SDXL's speed & quality with a unique AAA game-style aesthetic. Ideal choice varies by use case & art taste.
How to serve your ComfyUI model behind an API endpoint
This guide details deploying ComfyUI image generation pipelines via API for app integration, using Truss for packaging & production deployment.
