In this exercise, our objective is to integrate an API endpoint for the Large Language Model (LLM) provided by Hugging Face using FastAPI. Additionally, we aim to encapsulate this whole application within a Docker container for portability and ease of deployment.

To achieve this, our project consists of several key components:
- Large Language Model: Our application logic resides in model.py, where the model_pipeline function serves as the core engine behind our LLM interaction using LangChain. We've chosen the Mistral Instruct model from Hugging Face for this exercise.
- API Endpoint Integration: We'll be incorporating an API endpoint using FastAPI to seamlessly interact with the LLM downloaded from Hugging Face. The main.py file implements the FastAPI framework, defining routes and endpoints. Specifically, the /ask endpoint invokes the model_pipeline function to interact with the Mistral Instruct model and generate a response.
- Containerization: Utilizing the Dockerfile, we containerize our FastAPI LLM application. This ensures that our application, along with its dependencies, can be easily packaged and deployed across various environments.

Deploy on Kubernetes as a pod
Deploying directly as a pod is not a preferred way. This is just for quick testing purpose! In the next blog post we will see how to deploy this as a Kubernetes deployment resource.

For a quick validation, I did exec into the pod and curl against the exposed APIs.
❯ KUBECONFIG=gckubeconfig k exec -it hf-11 -- bash root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# curl -d '{"text":"select head or tail randomly. strictly respond only in one word. no explanations needed."}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5000/ask {"response":" Head."}root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# curl localhost:5000 "Welcome to FastAPI for your local LLM!"root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# curl localhost:5000/healthz {"Status":"OK"}root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app# root@hf-11:/fastapi-llm-app#
You can also use kubectl expose command to create a service for this pod and then port forward to it and then curl to it.
Hope it was useful. Cheers!
