</div>

A Rust and gRPC server for large language models text generation inference.

## Load Tests for BLOOM

See `k6/load_test.js`
We send the default examples with a 1 second delay between requests.

Stages: 
- Ramp up to 50 vus in 1min
- Ramp up from 50 to 100 vus in 2min
- Ramp down to 0 vus in 1min
