- FastAPI service managing model lifecycle
- Automatic model detection and switching based on request type
- OpenAI-compatible API proxy for all models
- Simple YAML configuration for adding new models
- Docker SDK integration for service management
- Endpoints: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/images/generations, /v1/audio/generations
**Text Generation** (ai/vllm/):
- Reorganized existing vLLM server into proper structure
- Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct (14GB VRAM, ~50 tok/sec)
- Docker containerized with CUDA 12.4 support
**Image Generation** (ai/flux/):
- Flux.1 Schnell for fast, high-quality images
- 14GB VRAM, 4-5 sec per image
- OpenAI DALL-E compatible API
- Pre-built image: ghcr.io/matatonic/openedai-images-flux
**Music Generation** (ai/musicgen/):
- Meta's MusicGen Medium (facebook/musicgen-medium)

- .env.example: Environment variable template
- README.md: Comprehensive deployment and usage guide
## Updated Files
- litellm-config.yaml: Updated to route through orchestrator (port 9000)
- GPU_DEPLOYMENT_LOG.md: Documented multi-modal architecture
## Features
✅ Automatic model switching (30-120s latency)
✅ Cost-optimized single GPU deployment (~$0.50/hr vs ~$0.75/hr multi-GPU)
✅ Easy model addition via YAML configuration
✅ OpenAI-compatible APIs for all model types
✅ Centralized routing through LiteLLM proxy
✅ GPU memory safety (only one model loaded at time)
## Usage
Deploy to RunPod:
```bash
scp -r ai/* gpu-pivoine:/workspace/ai/
ssh gpu-pivoine "cd /workspace/ai && docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d orchestrator"
```
Test models:
```bash
# Text
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/v1/chat/completions -d '{"model":"qwen-2.5-7b","messages":[...]}'
# Image
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/v1/images/generations -d '{"model":"flux-schnell","prompt":"..."}'
# Music
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/v1/audio/generations -d '{"model":"musicgen-medium","prompt":"..."}'
```
All models available via Open WebUI at https://ai.pivoine.art
## Adding New Models
1. Add entry to models.yaml
2. Define Docker service in docker-compose.gpu.yaml
3. Restart orchestrator
That's it! The orchestrator automatically detects and manages the new model.
## Performance
| Model | VRAM | Startup | Speed |
|-------|------|---------|-------|
| Qwen 2.5 7B | 14GB | 120s | ~50 tok/sec |
| Flux.1 Schnell | 14GB | 60s | 4-5s/image |
| MusicGen Medium | 11GB | 45s | 60-90s for 30s audio |
Model switching overhead: 30-120 seconds

||
### Via Open WebUI (https://ai.pivoine.art)
|
||
|
||
**Text Generation:**
|
||
1. Select model: `qwen-2.5-7b`
|
||
2. Type message and send
|
||
3. Orchestrator loads vLLM automatically
|
||
|
||
**Image Generation:**
|
||
1. Select model: `flux-schnell`
|
||
2. Enter image prompt
|
||
3. Orchestrator switches to Flux.1
|
||
|

**Music Generation:**
|
||
1. Select model: `musicgen-medium`
|
||
2. Describe the music you want
|
||
3. Orchestrator switches to MusicGen
|
||
|
||
### Via API (Direct)
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import openai
|
||
|
||
# Configure client to use orchestrator
|
||
client = openai.OpenAI(
|
||
base_url="http://100.100.108.13:9000/v1",
|
||
api_key="dummy" # Not used but required
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
# Text generation
|
||
response = client.chat.completions.create(
|
||
model="qwen-2.5-7b",
|
||
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku"}]
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
# Image generation
|
||
image = client.images.generate(
|
||
model="flux-schnell",
|
||
prompt="a sunset over mountains",
|
||
size="1024x1024"
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
# Music generation (custom endpoint)
|
||
import requests
|
||
music = requests.post(
|
||
"http://100.100.108.13:9000/v1/audio/generations",
|
||
json={
|
||
"model": "musicgen-medium",
|
||
"prompt": "calm piano music",
|
||
"duration": 30
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Adding New Models
|
||
|
||
### Step 1: Update `models.yaml`
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
# Add to ai/model-orchestrator/models.yaml
|
||
models:
|
||
llama-3.1-8b: # New model
|
||
type: text
|
||
framework: vllm
|
||
docker_service: vllm-llama
|
||
port: 8004
|
||
vram_gb: 17
|
||
startup_time_seconds: 120
|
||
endpoint: /v1/chat/completions
|
||
description: "Llama 3.1 8B Instruct - Meta's latest model"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 2: Add Docker Service
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
# Add to ai/docker-compose.gpu.yaml
|
||
services:
|
||
vllm-llama:
|
||
build: ./vllm
|
||
container_name: ai_vllm-llama_1
|
||
command: >
|
||
vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct
|
||
--port 8000 --dtype bfloat16
|
||
ports:
|
||
- "8004:8000"
|
||
environment:
|
||
- HF_TOKEN=${HF_TOKEN}
|
||
deploy:
|
||
resources:
|
||
reservations:
|
||
devices:
|
||
- driver: nvidia
|
||
count: 1
|
||
capabilities: [gpu]
|
||
profiles: ["text"]
|
||
restart: "no"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Step 3: Restart Orchestrator
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ssh gpu-pivoine
|
||
cd /workspace/ai/
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml restart orchestrator
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**That's it!** The orchestrator automatically detects the new model.
|
||
|
||
## Management Commands
|
||
|
||
### Orchestrator
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Start orchestrator
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d orchestrator
|
||
|
||
# View orchestrator logs
|
||
docker logs -f ai_orchestrator
|
||
|
||
# Restart orchestrator
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml restart orchestrator
|
||
|
||
# Check active model
|
||
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/health
|
||
|
||
# List all models
|
||
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/models
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Manual Model Control
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Manually switch to specific model
|
||
curl -X POST http://100.100.108.13:9000/switch \
|
||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||
-d '{"model": "flux-schnell"}'
|
||
|
||
# Check which model is running
|
||
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/health | jq '.current_model'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Model Services
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Manually start a specific model (bypassing orchestrator)
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml --profile text up -d vllm-qwen
|
||
|
||
# Stop a model
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml stop vllm-qwen
|
||
|
||
# View model logs
|
||
docker logs -f ai_vllm-qwen_1
|
||
docker logs -f ai_flux_1
|
||
docker logs -f ai_musicgen_1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Monitoring
|
||
|
||
### GPU Usage
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ssh gpu-pivoine "nvidia-smi"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Model Status
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Which model is active?
|
||
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/health
|
||
|
||
# Model memory usage
|
||
curl http://100.100.108.13:9000/health | jq '{current: .current_model, vram: .model_info.vram_gb}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Performance
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Orchestrator logs (model switching)
|
||
docker logs -f ai_orchestrator
|
||
|
||
# Model-specific logs
|
||
docker logs -f ai_vllm-qwen_1
|
||
docker logs -f ai_flux_1
|
||
docker logs -f ai_musicgen_1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### Model Won't Load
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check orchestrator logs
|
||
docker logs ai_orchestrator
|
||
|
||
# Check if model service exists
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml config | grep -A 10 "vllm-qwen"
|
||
|
||
# Manually test model service
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml --profile text up -d vllm-qwen
|
||
curl http://localhost:8001/health
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Orchestrator Can't Connect
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check Docker socket permissions
|
||
ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
|
||
|
||
# Restart Docker daemon
|
||
sudo systemctl restart docker
|
||
|
||
# Rebuild orchestrator
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml build orchestrator
|
||
docker compose -f docker-compose.gpu.yaml up -d orchestrator
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Model Switching Too Slow
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check model startup times in models.yaml
|
||
# Adjust startup_time_seconds if needed
|
||
|
||
# Pre-download models to /workspace cache
|
||
docker run --rm -it --gpus all \
|
||
-v /workspace/huggingface_cache:/cache \
|
||
-e HF_HOME=/cache \
|
||
nvidia/cuda:12.4.0-runtime-ubuntu22.04 \
|
||
huggingface-cli download facebook/musicgen-medium

## Cost Analysis
|
||
|
||
### Current Setup (Single GPU)
|
||
- **Provider**: RunPod Spot Instance
|
||
- **GPU**: RTX 4090 24GB
|
||
- **Cost**: ~$0.50/hour
|
||
- **Monthly**: ~$360 (if running 24/7)
|
||
- **Optimized**: ~$120 (8 hours/day during business hours)
|
||
|
||
### Alternative: Multi-GPU (All Models Always On)
|
||
- **GPUs**: 2× RTX 4090
|
||
- **Cost**: ~$0.75/hour
|
||
- **Monthly**: ~$540 (if running 24/7)
|
||
- **Trade-off**: No switching latency, +$180/month
|
||
|
||
### Recommendation
|
||
Stick with single GPU sequential loading for cost optimization. Model switching (30-120 seconds) is acceptable for most use cases.
|
||
|
||
## Performance Expectations
|
||
|
||
| Model | VRAM | Startup Time | Generation Speed |
|
||
|-------|------|--------------|------------------|
|
||
| Qwen 2.5 7B | 14GB | 120s | ~50 tokens/sec |
|
||
| Flux.1 Schnell | 14GB | 60s | ~4-5 sec/image |
|
||
| MusicGen Medium | 11GB | 45s | ~60-90 sec for 30s audio |
|
||
|
||
**Model Switching**: 30-120 seconds (unload current + load new)
|
||
|
||
## Security Notes
|
||
|
||
- Orchestrator requires Docker socket access (`/var/run/docker.sock`)
|
||
- All services run on private Tailscale network
|
||
- No public exposure (only via VPS LiteLLM proxy)
|
||
- HuggingFace token stored in `.env` (not committed to git)
|
||
|
||
## Future Enhancements
|
||
|
||
1. ⏹️ Add Llama 3.1 8B for alternative text generation
|
||
2. ⏹️ Add Whisper Large v3 for speech-to-text
|
||
3. ⏹️ Add XTTS v2 for text-to-speech
|
||
4. ⏹️ Implement model preloading/caching for faster switching
|
||
5. ⏹️ Add usage metrics and cost tracking
|
||
6. ⏹️ Auto-stop GPU pod during idle periods
|
||
