Vidur: Simulation Framework for LLM Optimization

Vidur presents a high-fidelity, scalable simulation framework designed to improve the deployment efficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs). Through a combination of experimental data and predictive modeling, Vidur can simulate the end-to-end performance of LLMs, helping users find the best configuration settings that balance cost and performance outcomes.

  • Provides accurate predictions with less than 9% error across various models.
  • Uses predictive modeling to estimate metrics like latency and throughput.
  • Vidur-Search aids in finding cost-effective configurations.
  • Reduces the need for extensive and costly real-world tests.
  • Open source, available on GitHub for broader accessibility.

Why is this important? With the growing adoption of LLMs across different sectors, optimizing their deployment is crucial to ensure efficiency and cost effectiveness. Vidur not only minimizes the operational burdens but also serves as a powerful tool for developers looking to tailor LLM deployments to specific needs. Continued enhancements will further streamline this process and potentially impact a wider range of applications.
