Python API Reference

This section documents the Python API for vector-inference.

Client Interface

vec_inf.client.api.VecInfClient

Client for interacting with Vector Inference programmatically.

This class provides methods for launching models, checking their status, retrieving metrics, and shutting down models using the Vector Inference infrastructure.

Methods:

Name	Description
list_models	List all available models
get_model_config	Get configuration for a specific model
launch_model	Launch a model on the cluster
get_status	Get status of a running model
get_metrics	Get performance metrics of a running model
shutdown_model	Shutdown a running model
wait_until_ready	Wait for a model to become ready

Examples:

>>> from vec_inf.api import VecInfClient
>>> client = VecInfClient()
>>> response = client.launch_model("Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct")
>>> job_id = response.slurm_job_id
>>> status = client.get_status(job_id)
>>> if status.status == ModelStatus.READY:
...     print(f"Model is ready at {status.base_url}")
>>> client.shutdown_model(job_id)

Data Models

vec_inf.client.models

Data models for Vector Inference API.

This module contains the data model classes used by the Vector Inference API for both request parameters and response objects.

Classes:

Name	Description
ModelStatus : Enum	Status states of a model
ModelType : Enum	Types of supported models
LaunchResponse : dataclass	Response from model launch operation
StatusResponse : dataclass	Response from model status check
MetricsResponse : dataclass	Response from metrics collection
LaunchOptions : dataclass	Options for model launch
LaunchOptionsDict : TypedDict	Dictionary representation of launch options
ModelInfo : datacitten	Information about available models

ModelStatus

Bases: str, Enum

Enum representing the possible status states of a model.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
PENDING	str	Model is waiting for Slurm to allocate resources
LAUNCHING	str	Model is in the process of starting
READY	str	Model is running and ready to serve requests
FAILED	str	Model failed to start or encountered an error
SHUTDOWN	str	Model was intentionally stopped
UNAVAILABLE	str	Model status cannot be determined
