Stars: 2272
LoRAX is a framework that allows users to serve thousands of fine-tuned models on a single GPU, dramatically reducing the cost of serving without compromising on throughput or latency. It features dynamic adapter loading, heterogeneous continuous batching, adapter exchange scheduling, optimized inference, and is ready for production with prebuilt Docker images, Helm charts for Kubernetes, Prometheus metrics, and distributed tracing with Open Telemetry. LoRAX supports a number of Large Language Models as the base model including Llama, Mistral, and Qwen, and any of the linear layers in the model can be adapted via LoRA and loaded in LoRAX.

- π Dynamic Adapter Loading: include any fine-tuned LoRA adapter from HuggingFace, Predibase, or any filesystem in your request, it will be loaded just-in-time without blocking concurrent requests. Merge adapters per request to instantly create powerful ensembles.
- ποΈββοΈ Heterogeneous Continuous Batching: packs requests for different adapters together into the same batch, keeping latency and throughput nearly constant with the number of concurrent adapters.
- π§ Adapter Exchange Scheduling: asynchronously prefetches and offloads adapters between GPU and CPU memory, schedules request batching to optimize the aggregate throughput of the system.
- π¬ Optimized Inference: high throughput and low latency optimizations including tensor parallelism, pre-compiled CUDA kernels (flash-attention, paged attention, SGMV), quantization, token streaming.
- π’ Ready for Production prebuilt Docker images, Helm charts for Kubernetes, Prometheus metrics, and distributed tracing with Open Telemetry. OpenAI compatible API supporting multi-turn chat conversations. Private adapters through per-request tenant isolation. Structured Output (JSON mode).
- π€― Free for Commercial Use: Apache 2.0 License. Enough said π.
Serving a fine-tuned model with LoRAX consists of two components:
- Base Model: pretrained large model shared across all adapters.
- Adapter: task-specific adapter weights dynamically loaded per request.
LoRAX supports a number of Large Language Models as the base model including Llama (including CodeLlama), Mistral (including Zephyr), and Qwen. See Supported Architectures for a complete list of supported base models.
Base models can be loaded in fp16 or quantized with bitsandbytes
, GPT-Q, or AWQ.
Supported adapters include LoRA adapters trained using the PEFT and Ludwig libraries. Any of the linear layers in the model can be adapted via LoRA and loaded in LoRAX.
We recommend starting with our pre-built Docker image to avoid compiling custom CUDA kernels and other dependencies.
The minimum system requirements need to run LoRAX include:
- Nvidia GPU (Ampere generation or above)
- CUDA 11.8 compatible device drivers and above
- Linux OS
- Docker (for this guide)
