🚀 Quick Start

📦 Installation

Install the engine with all dependencies:

pip install -U aphrodite-engine --extra-index-url https://downloads.pygmalion.chat/whl

🏃‍♂️ Launch Your First Model

Start serving a model with a single command:

aphrodite run meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct

💡 Memory Optimization: For non-production use, add --single-user-mode to limit memory allocation.

This creates an OpenAI-compatible API server accessible at http://localhost:2242.

🔌 API Usage Example

import openai

# Configure client to use Aphrodite
client = openai.OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:2242/v1",
    api_key="sk-empty"  # Not required for local deployment
)

# Generate text
