# AIKit ✨

AIKit is a comprehensive platform to quickly get started to host, deploy, build and fine-tune large language models (LLMs).

AIKit offers three main capabilities:

- **Inference**: AIKit uses [LocalAI](https://localai.io/), which supports a wide range of inference capabilities and formats. LocalAI provides a drop-in replacement REST API that is OpenAI API compatible, so you can use any OpenAI API compatible client, such as [Kubectl AI](https://github.com/sozercan/kubectl-ai), [Chatbot-UI](https://github.com/sozercan/chatbot-ui) and many more, to send requests to open LLMs!

- **[Fine-Tuning](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/fine-tune)**: AIKit offers an extensible fine-tuning interface. It supports [Unsloth](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth) for fast, memory efficient, and easy fine-tuning experience.

- **[OCI Packaging](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/packaging)**: Package models as OCI artifacts for distribution through any OCI-compliant registry. Supports [CNCF ModelPack](https://github.com/modelpack/model-spec) specification and generic artifact packaging.

👉 For full documentation, please see [AIKit website](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/)!

## Features

- 🐳 No GPU, Internet access or additional tools needed except for [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux-install/) or [Podman](https://podman.io)!
- 🤏 Minimal image size, resulting in less vulnerabilities and smaller attack surface with a custom [chiseled](https://ubuntu.com/containers/chiseled) image
- 🎵 [Fine-tune support](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/fine-tune)
- 📦 [OCI packaging support](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/packaging) for distributing models as OCI artifacts
- 🚀 Easy to use declarative configuration for [inference](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/specs-inference) and [fine-tuning](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/specs-finetune)
- ✨ OpenAI API compatible to use with any OpenAI API compatible client
- 📸 [Multi-modal model support](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/vision)
- 🖼️ [Image generation support](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/diffusion)
- 🦙 Support for GGUF ([`llama`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)) and GGML ([`llama-ggml`](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)) models
- 🚢 [Kubernetes deployment ready](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/kubernetes)
- 📚 Supports multiple models with a single image
- 🖥️ Supports [AMD64 and ARM64](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/create-images#multi-platform-support) CPUs and [GPU-accelerated inferencing with NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm support](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/gpu)
- 🔐 Ensure [supply chain security](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/security) with SBOMs, Provenance attestations, and signed images
- 🌈 Supports air-gapped inference with self-hosted or local registries when model content and dependencies are baked or mirrored ahead of time; runner images that download models at startup are not air-gapped by default.

## Quick Start

You can get started with AIKit quickly on your local machine without a GPU!

```bash
docker run -d --rm -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/kaito-project/aikit/llama3.1:8b
```

After running this, navigate to [http://localhost:8080/chat](http://localhost:8080/chat) to access the WebUI!

### API

AIKit provides an OpenAI API compatible endpoint, so you can use any OpenAI API compatible client to send requests to open LLMs!

```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "explain kubernetes in a sentence"}]
  }'
```

Output should be similar to:

```jsonc
{
  // ...
    "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instruct",
    "choices": [
        {
            "index": 0,
            "finish_reason": "stop",
            "message": {
                "role": "assistant",
                "content": "Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of applications and services, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure."
            }
        }
    ],
  // ...
}
```

That's it! 🎉 API is OpenAI compatible so this is a drop-in replacement for any OpenAI API compatible client.

## Pre-made Models

AIKit comes with pre-made models that you can use out-of-the-box!

If it doesn't include a specific model, you can always [create your own images](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/create-images), and host in a container registry of your choice!

## CPU

> [!NOTE]
> AIKit supports both AMD64 and ARM64 CPUs. You can run the same command on either architecture, and Docker will automatically pull the correct image for your CPU.
>
> Depending on your CPU capabilities, AIKit will automatically select the most optimized instruction set.

### NVIDIA CUDA

> [!NOTE]
> To enable NVIDIA GPU acceleration, please see [GPU Acceleration](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/gpu).
>
> Published pre-made GPU images include NVIDIA CUDA libraries. For the NVIDIA CUDA commands below, the only difference from the CPU section is the `--gpus all` flag.

### AMD ROCm (experimental)

> [!NOTE]
> AMD GPU acceleration is currently available for custom `llama-cpp` images built with `runtime: rocm`. Published pre-made model images are currently CUDA-based, so for AMD GPUs please [create your own image](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/create-images) and follow the ROCm instructions in [GPU Acceleration](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/gpu).
>
> ROCm support currently applies to the `llama-cpp` backend on `linux/amd64`.

### Apple Silicon (experimental)

> [!NOTE]
> To enable GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon, please see [Podman Desktop documentation](https://podman-desktop.io/docs/podman/gpu). For more information, please see [GPU Acceleration](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/docs/gpu).
>
> Apple Silicon is an _experimental_ runtime and it may change in the future. This runtime is specific to Apple Silicon only, and it will not work as expected on other architectures, including Intel Macs.
>
> Only `gguf` models are supported on Apple Silicon.
