# HuggingFace TGI PyWorker
This is the base PyWorker for HuggingFace Text Generation Inference (TGI) servers. See the [Serverless documentation](https://docs.vast.ai/serverless) for guides and how-to's.
## Instance Setup
1. Pick a template
This worker is compatible with any TGI backend. We have a template you can use or you can create your own.
- [HuggingFace TGI](https://cloud.vast.ai/?ref_id=62897&creator_id=62897&name=TGI%20(Serverless))
The template can be configured via the template interface. You may want to change the model or startup arguments.
2. Follow the [getting started guide](https://docs.vast.ai/documentation/serverless/quickstart) for help with configuring your serverless setup. For testing, we recommend that you use the default options presented by the web interface.
## Client Setup (Demo)
1. Clone the PyWorker repository to your local machine and install the necessary requirements for running the test client.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vast-ai/pyworker
cd pyworker
pip install uv
uv venv -p 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Using the Test Client
The test client demonstrates both streaming and non-streaming generation using TGI's native API.
First, set your API key as an environment variable:
```bash
export VAST_API_KEY=<your_api_key>
```
The `--endpoint` flag is optional. If not provided, it defaults to `my-tgi-endpoint`.
### Generate (Streaming)
Call to `/generate_stream` with streaming response:
```bash
python -m workers.tgi.client --generate-stream --endpoint <ENDPOINT_NAME>
```
### Generate (Non-Streaming)
Call to `/generate` with json response:
```bash
python -m workers.tgi.client --generate --endpoint <ENDPOINT_NAME>
```
### Interactive Session (Streaming)
Interactive session with streaming responses. Type `quit` to exit.
```bash
python -m workers.tgi.client --interactive --endpoint <ENDPOINT_NAME>
```
## API Endpoints
TGI provides two primary endpoints:
### Generate (Non-Streaming)
`/generate` - Returns the complete response in a single request.
```json
{
"inputs": "Your prompt here",
"parameters": {
"max_new_tokens": 1024,
"temperature": 0.7,
"return_full_text": false
}
}
```
### Generate Stream (Streaming)
`/generate_stream` - Streams the response token by token.
```json
{
"inputs": "Your prompt here",
"parameters": {
"max_new_tokens": 1024,
"temperature": 0.7,
"do_sample": true,
"return_full_text": false
}
}
```
## Performance Notes
The `max_new_tokens` parameter (not the prompt size) primarily impacts performance. For example, if an instance is benchmarked to process 100 tokens per second, a request with `max_new_tokens = 200` will take approximately 2 seconds to complete.
