Challenges with Local Server
Hardware and Infrastructure Challenges Resource Requirements:
Memory :
LLMs require significant RAM to run efficiently. For example, models like GPT-3 can require dozens of gigabytes of RAM.
Storage:
The models themselves are large (many gigabytes), and additional storage is needed for caching, data storage, and logs.
1. Processing Power: High-performance CPUs and preferably GPUs are needed to handle the computational load. Inferencing with LLMs is resource-intensive and benefits greatly from parallel processing capabilities of GPUs.
Scalability:
1. Floating IP : Server need Floating IPs to handle Multiple request. Our Local Machine don't have Floating IPS to handle multiple requests
2. Load Balancing: Managing multiple requests simultaneously requires efficient load balancing. Without a cloud interface, this must be handled locally.
3. Horizontal Scaling: Scaling out to multiple machines can be complex without cloud orchestration tools like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm.
Software and Model Integration Challenges Model Management:
1. Loading and Unloading Models:
Efficiently loading models into memory and managing different versions or variations can be complex.
2. Inference Optimization: Ensuring low-latency responses might require model optimizations like quantization, distillation, or using optimized libraries (e.g., TensorRT for NVIDIA GPUs).
2. Dependency Management: Library Dependencies: Managing the dependencies for the LLM and ensuring compatibility with Flask and other libraries can be challenging.
Environment Consistency: Ensuring the development, testing, and production environments are consistent and stable.
deployment and Maintenance Challenges DevOps and Automation:
CI/CD Pipelines: Setting up continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines without cloud-native tools requires manual effort.
Monitoring and Logging: Implementing robust monitoring and logging solutions to track performance and errors, which can be less straightforward without cloud-native tools. Security: Data Security: Ensuring the security of the data being processed, including encryption and secure storage. Access Control: Implementing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to control access to the model.
