vLLM can be run on a cloud based GPU machine with [Cerebrium](https://www.cerebrium.ai/), a serverless AI infrastructure platform that makes it easier for companies to build and deploy AI based applications.

To install the Cerebrium client, run:

```bash
pip install cerebrium
cerebrium login
```

Next, create your Cerebrium project, run:

```bash
cerebrium init vllm-project
```

Next, to install the required packages, add the following to your cerebrium.toml:

```toml
[cerebrium.deployment]
docker_base_image_url = "nvidia/cuda:12.1.1-runtime-ubuntu22.04"

[cerebrium.dependencies.pip]
vllm = "latest"
```

Next, let us add our code to handle inference for the LLM of your choice (`mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1` for this example), add the following code to your `main.py`:

??? code

    ```python
    from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

    llm = LLM(model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1")

    def run(prompts: list[str], temperature: float = 0.8, top_p: float = 0.95):

        sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=temperature, top_p=top_p)
        outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)

        # Print the outputs.
        results = []
        for output in outputs:
            prompt = output.prompt
            generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
            results.append({"prompt": prompt, "generated_text": generated_text})

        return {"results": results}
    ```

Then, run the following code to deploy it to the cloud:

```bash
cerebrium deploy
```

If successful, you should be returned a CURL command that you can call inference against. Just remember to end the url with the function name you are calling (in our case`/run`)

??? console "Command"

    ```python
    curl -X POST https://api.cortex.cerebrium.ai/v4/p-xxxxxx/vllm/run \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H 'Authorization: <JWT TOKEN>' \
    --data '{
    "prompts": [
        "Hello, my name is",
        "The president of the United States is",
        "The capital of France is",
        "The future of AI is"
    ]
    }'
    ```

You should get a response like:

??? console "Response"

    ```python
    {
        "run_id": "52911756-3066-9ae8-bcc9-d9129d1bd262",
        "result": {
            "result": [
                {
                    "prompt": "Hello, my name is",
                    "generated_text": " Sarah, and I'm a teacher. I teach elementary school students. One of"
                },
                {
                    "prompt": "The president of the United States is",
                    "generated_text": " elected every four years. This is a democratic system.\n\n5. What"
                },
                {
                    "prompt": "The capital of France is",
                    "generated_text": " Paris.\n"
                },
                {
                    "prompt": "The future of AI is",
                    "generated_text": " bright, but it's important to approach it with a balanced and nuanced perspective."
                }
            ]
        },
        "run_time_ms": 152.53663063049316
    }
    ```

You now have an autoscaling endpoint where you only pay for the compute you use!
