What
Friendli Engine
offers

Speed up the serving of LLMs,
thus slashing costs by
40~80%

Friendli Engine is highly optimized to make LLM serving fast and cost-effective. With our performance testing showing that Friendli Engine is significantly faster than vLLM and TensorRT-LLM.

Key Technology

Iteration batching
(aka continuous batching)

Iteration batching is a new batching technology we invented to handle concurrent generation requests very efficiently. Iteration batching can achieve up to tens of times higher throughput than conventional batching while satisfying the same latency requirement. Our technology is protected by our patents in the US and Korea.

DNN library

Friendli DNN Library is the set of optimized GPU kernels carefully curated and designed specifically for generative AI. Our novel library allows Friendli Engine to support faster inference of various tensor shapes and datatypes, as well as support quantization, Mixture of experiences, LoRA adapters, and so on.

Highlights

mixtral 8x7B highlight

Running Quantized Mixtral 8x7B on a Single GPU

We quantized the Mixtral-7x8B-instruct v0.1 model with AWQ, and ran on a single NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU. Both the TTFT and TPOT outnumbers a baseline vLLM system. Friendli Engine achieves at least 4.1x faster response time and 3.8x ~ 23.8x higher token throughput.

Quantized Llama 2 70B on Single GPU

With Friendli Engine, running AWQ-ed models is seamless. For example, one can run AWQ-ed LLMs (e.g., Llama 2 70B 4-bit on a single A100 80 GB GPU) natively on Friendli Engine. Running LLMs with AWQ on Friendli Engine enables you to achieve efficient LLM deployment and remarkable efficiency gains without sacrificing accuracy.

Even faster TTFT with Friendli TCache

Friendli TCache reuses recurring computations, optimizing TTFT (Time to First Token) by leveraging cached results. We show that our Engine delivers 11.3x to 23x faster TTFT compared to vLLM.
