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.
vLLM vs SGLang: Performance, Features & Deployment Compared<p>Somebody on your team read a benchmark post, and now there’s a ticket to migrate the inference stack. That’s how most vLLM vs SGLang decisions start. A published test reports a 29 percent throughput gap, the number lands in Slack, and two weeks later you’re debugging kernel version conflicts at midnight while p99 latency sits […]</p>
Qwen3.5 27B API Benchmarks: Latency, Throughput & Cost<p>About Qwen3.5 27B (Reasoning) Qwen3.5 27B is part of Alibaba Cloud’s latest-generation foundation model family, released in February 2026. Unlike the Mixture-of-Experts variants in the Qwen3.5 series, the 27B model uses a dense architecture combining Gated Delta Networks and Feed Forward Networks. It achieves strong benchmark scores including MMLU-Pro (86.1%), GPQA Diamond (85.5%), and SWE-bench […]</p>
MiniMax-M2.5 API Benchmarks: Latency, Throughput & Cost<p>About MiniMax-M2.5 MiniMax-M2.5 is a state-of-the-art open-weights large language model released in February 2026. Built on a 230B-parameter Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture with approximately 10 billion active parameters per forward pass, it features Lightning Attention and supports a context window of up to 205,000 tokens. The model uses extended chain-of-thought reasoning to work through […]</p>
