Deploy LLMs in One Click

In this guide, we’ll cover how to deploy different LLMs, choose the right serving stack, and optimize for latency, cost, scaling, and reliability.

Self-hosting an LLM shouldn’t mean fighting CUDA versions, broken wheels, flash-attn builds, OOMs, and “works locally, fails on the server”.


Deploy Llama 3.1 8B in One Click (Production-Ready)

This page lets you deploy Llama 3.1 8B on our GPU servers with a single click and get a production-ready, OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (with auth, logs, metrics, and sane defaults).

What you get

  • OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1/chat/completions, streaming supported)
  • Dedicated deployment URL + API key
  • Presets for context length, quantization, batching, concurrency
  • Reliability defaults: health checks, auto-restart, timeouts, retries

GPU requirements (recommended)

Llama 3.1 8B is inference-friendly, but your experience depends on VRAM, context length, and precision.

  • Recommended minimum: 16 GB VRAM
  • Good baseline: 24 GB VRAM
  • High throughput / heavy batching: 40–80 GB VRAM

Expected performance (tokens/sec)

Performance depends on GPU class, quantization, batching, and concurrency. Typical single-stream ranges:

GPU tierExpected tokens/sec (approx.)Best for
L4 / A10 class~35–90 tok/sMVPs, prototypes, early SaaS
A100 40GB~90–180 tok/shigher traffic, lower latency
A100 80GB / H100~140–300+ tok/sheavy throughput + batching

Deploy in 3 steps:

Step 1 — Pick your presets for the selected model

Choose:

  • Precision: FP16 / INT8 / 4-bit
  • Context length: 8k / 16k / 32k (VRAM dependent)

Step 2 — Click Deploy

We provision the GPU server, pull a tested runtime, and start the model server.

Step 3 — Copy your endpoint + API key

You get:

  • Base URL
  • API key
  • Logs + metrics dashboard
  • Health endpoint

OpenAI-compatible endpoint snippet

Use your deployed Llama endpoint with OpenAI-style clients.

curl https://YOUR_ENDPOINT/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ \
    "model": "llama-3.1-8b", 
    "messages": [ 
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Write a concise product description for my app."}
    ],
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "stream": true
  }'

Deploy Qwen 2.5 16B in One Click (Production-Ready)

Self-hosting an LLM shouldn’t mean fighting CUDA versions, broken wheels, flash-attn builds, OOMs, and “works locally, fails on the server”.

This page lets you deploy Llama 3.1 8B on our GPU servers with a single click and get a production-ready, OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (with auth, logs, metrics, and sane defaults).

What you get

  • OpenAI-compatible endpoint (/v1/chat/completions, streaming supported)
  • Dedicated deployment URL + API key
  • Presets for context length, quantization, batching, concurrency
  • Observability: latency, TTFT (time-to-first-token), tokens/sec, GPU memory, error rate
  • Reliability defaults: health checks, auto-restart, timeouts, retries
  • Scale controls: concurrency caps + optional warm instances (“keep one hot”)
GPU requirements (recommended)

Llama 3.1 8B is inference-friendly, but your experience depends on VRAM, context length, and precision.

  • Recommended minimum: 16 GB VRAM
  • Good baseline: 24 GB VRAM
  • High throughput / heavy batching: 40–80 GB VRAM

Exact VRAM needs vary by runtime (vLLM/TGI), KV cache size, context length, and concurrency. That’s why our presets are designed to be safe by default.

VRAM guide (rule-of-thumb)
ModeMin VRAMRecommended VRAMNotes
FP16 / BF16~18–22 GB24 GB+Best quality, heavier memory
INT8~10–14 GB16 GBGreat balance for most apps
4-bit (AWQ/GPTQ)~6–10 GB12–16 GBLowest cost, slight quality tradeoff
Expected performance (tokens/sec)

Performance depends on GPU class, quantization, batching, and concurrency. Typical single-stream ranges:

GPU tierExpected tokens/sec (approx.)Best for
L4 / A10 class~35–90 tok/sMVPs, prototypes, early SaaS
A100 40GB~90–180 tok/shigher traffic, lower latency
A100 80GB / H100~140–300+ tok/sheavy throughput + batching

Tip: For real UX, track TTFT (time-to-first-token) and p95 latency—not just tokens/sec.


Cold start notes (what happens when it’s “sleeping”)

Cold starts usually include image pulls (first time), weight download (first time per node), kernel compilation/warmup, and server initialization.

Typical ranges:

  • Warm deployment: ~0.2–2s TTFT
  • Cold deployment: ~20–120s (depends on GPU + cache + runtime)

How we reduce cold start

  • prebuilt runtime images with pinned CUDA/PyTorch stacks
  • weight caching on the node
  • optional warm instances (“keep one hot”)
  • readiness checks that only mark the service ready when it can actually serve

Pricing example (simple mental model)

Your cost is basically:

GPU $/hour + storage + bandwidth + (optional) warm instances

Example scenarios:

  • Solo MVP: 1 GPU, no warm pool, low concurrency
  • Early startup: 1 GPU + warm instance + dashboards/logs
  • Production traffic: multiple replicas + autoscaling + tuned concurrency

If you share expected traffic (requests/day, tokens/request, target latency), we can recommend:

  • a preset (precision, context, concurrency)
  • expected tokens/sec and TTFT
  • an estimated $ / 1M tokens

Deploy in 3 steps

Step 1 — Pick your preset

Choose:

  • Precision: FP16 / INT8 / 4-bit
  • Context length: 8k / 16k / 32k (VRAM dependent)
  • Concurrency: 1 / 4 / 8 / 16
  • Warm pool: Off / 1 / 2

Step 2 — Click Deploy

We provision the GPU server, pull a tested runtime, and start the model server.

Step 3 — Copy your endpoint + API key

You get:

  • Base URL
  • API key
  • Logs + metrics dashboard
  • Health endpoint
