Understanding LoRA inference
Concepts
- Base model: The original model that is used as a starting point.
- LoRA adapter model: A small model that is used to adapt the base model for a specific task.
- LoRA Rank: The rank of the matrix that is used to adapt the model.
What you need to inference with LoRA adapter model
- Supported base model
- LoRA adapter model hosted on HuggingFace
- HuggingFace token if the LoRA adapter model is private
- DeepInfra account
How to inference with LoRA adapter in DeepInfra
- Go to the dashboard
- Click on the 'New Deployment' button
- Click on the 'LoRA Model' tab
- Fill the form:
- LoRA model name: model name used to reference the deployment
- Hugging Face Model Name: Hugging Face model name
- Hugging Face Token: (optional) Hugging Face token if the LoRA adapter model is private
- Click on the 'Upload' button
Note: The list of supported base models is listed on the same page. If you need a base model that is not listed, please contact us at feedback@deepinfra.com
Rate limits on LoRA adapter model
Rate limit will apply on combined traffic of all LoRA adapter models with the same base model. For example, if you have 2 LoRA adapter models with the same base model, and have rate limit of 200. Those 2 LoRA adapter models combined will have rate limit of 200.
Pricing on LoRA adapter model
Pricing is 50% higher than base model.
How is LoRA adapter model speed compared to base model speed?
LoRA adapter model speed is lower than base model, because there is additional compute and memory overhead to apply the LoRA adapter. From our benchmarks, the LoRA adapter model speed is about 50-60% slower than base model.
How to make LoRA adapter model faster?
You could merge the LoRA adapter with the base model to reduce the overhead. And use custom deployment, the speed will be close to the base model.
Build an OCR-Powered PDF Reader & Summarizer with DeepInfra (Kimi K2)<p>This guide walks you from zero to working: you’ll learn what OCR is (and why PDFs can be tricky), how to turn any PDF—including those with screenshots of tables—into text, and how to let an LLM do the heavy lifting to clean OCR noise, reconstruct tables, and summarize the document. We’ll use DeepInfra’s OpenAI-compatible API […]</p>
Function Calling in DeepInfra: Extend Your AI with Real-World Logic<p>Modern large language models (LLMs) are incredibly powerful at understanding and generating text, but until recently they were largely static: they could only respond based on patterns in their training data. Function calling changes that. It lets language models interact with external logic — your own code, APIs, utilities, or business systems — while still […]</p>
From Precision to Quantization: A Practical Guide to Faster, Cheaper LLMs<p>Large language models live and die by numbers—literally trillions of them. How finely we store those numbers (their precision) determines how much memory a model needs, how fast it runs, and sometimes how good its answers are. This article walks from the basics to the deep end: we’ll start with how computers even store a […]</p>
