- Petals runs large language models like [Llama](https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/blob/main/MODEL_CARD.md) and [BLOOM](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) **collaboratively** — you load a small part of the model, then join people serving the other parts to run inference or fine-tuning.
- Single-batch inference runs at **up to 6 steps/sec** for **Llama 2** (70B) and ≈ 1 step/sec for BLOOM-176B. This is [up to 10x faster](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals#benchmarks) than offloading, enough to build [chatbots](https://chat.petals.dev) and other interactive apps. Parallel inference reaches hundreds of tokens/sec.
- Beyond classic language model 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.
- You load a small part of the model, then join a [network](https://health.petals.dev) of people serving the 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](https://chat.petals.dev) and interactive apps.

<sup>1</sup>**An upper bound for offloading performance.** We base our offloading numbers on the best possible hardware setup for offloading: CPU RAM offloading via PCIe 4.0 with 16 PCIe lanes per GPU and PCIe switches for pairs of GPUs. We assume zero latency for the upper bound estimation. In 8-bit, the model uses 1 GB of memory per billion parameters. PCIe 4.0 with 16 lanes has a throughput of 256 Gbit/s, so offloading 176B parameters takes 5.5 seconds. The throughput is twice as slow (128 Gbit/s) if we have two GPUs behind the same PCIe switch.
<sup>2</sup>**A real-world distributed setting** with 14 servers holding 2× RTX 3060, 4× 2080Ti, 2× 3090, 2× A4000, and 4× A5000 GPUs. These are personal servers and servers from university labs, spread across Europe and North America and connected to the Internet at speeds of 100–1000 Mbit/s. 4 servers operate from under firewalls.
<sup>3</sup>**An optimistic setup** that requires least communication. The client nodes have 8 CPU cores and no GPU.
We provide more evaluations and discuss these results in more detail in **Section 3.3** of our [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.01188.pdf).
