Can you share the link to that Hugging Face model so I can see how I may help?

Are you interested in reducing the latency or just cutting down the cost? Can you run the workload on GPUs instead?

For BERT-type models, doing some compression and using inference libraries can easily get you 5-10x speedup. If interested, I'd be happy to share more resources on this.

Much thanks for the reply, would love to read your resources on compression and inference.

I'm keen on cutting down costs. Previously ran on GPU via AWS EC2 instance but gotta tighten the company's belt this year and my manager suggested running on CPU. Love to hear your suggestions too (if any).

I'm using the OctoML platform (https://octoml.ai/) to optimize your model and I got your average inference latency down to 2.14ms on an AWS T4 GPU. On an Ice Lake CPU I can get your latency down to 27.47ms. I'm assuming shapes of [1,128] for your inputs "input_ids," "attention_mask," and "token_type_ids," but want to confirm your actual shapes so that we're comparing apples to apples. Do you know what shapes you're using?

Depends on what models you are using but for most transformers, running on GPUs may be much more efficient than CPUs when you consider $ / M inferences (or inf/$).

Are there specific EC2 instances you have to use or can you deploy on any EC2 instance?
