Key Technology
Iteration batching
(aka continuous batching)
Iteration batching is a new batching technology we invented to handle concurrent generation requests very efficiently. Iteration batching can achieve up to tens of times higher LLM inference throughput than conventional batching while satisfying the same latency requirement. Our technology is protected by our patents in the US and Korea.

DNN library
Friendli DNN Library is the set of optimized GPU kernels carefully curated and designed specifically for generative AI. Our novel library allows Friendli Engine to support faster LLM inference of various tensor shapes and datatypes, as well as support quantization, Mixture of experiences, LoRA adapters, and so on.
Friendli TCache
Friendli TCache intelligently identifies and stores frequently used computational results. The Friendli Engine leverages the cached results, significantly reducing the workload on the GPUs.

Speculative decoding
Friendli Engine natively supports speculative decoding, an optimization technique that rapidly speeds up LLM/LMM inference by making educated guesses on future tokens in parallel while generating the current token. Through validation of the generated potential future tokens, speculative decoding ensures identical model outputs at a fraction of the inference time.
Highlights
Running Quantized Mixtral 8x7B on a Single GPU
We quantized the Mixtral-7x8B-instruct v0.1 model with AWQ, and ran on a single NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU. Both the TTFT and TPOT outnumbers a baseline vLLM system. Friendli Engine achieves at least 4.1x faster response time and 3.8x ~ 23.8x higher token throughput.

Quantized Llama 2 70B on Single GPU
With Friendli Engine, running AWQ-ed models is seamless. For example, one can run AWQ-ed LLMs (e.g., Llama 2 70B 4-bit on a single A100 80 GB GPU) natively on Friendli Engine. Running LLMs with AWQ on Friendli Engine enables you to achieve efficient LLM deployment and remarkable efficiency gains without sacrificing accuracy.

Even faster TTFT with Friendli TCache
Friendli TCache reuses recurring computations, optimizing TTFT (Time to First Token) by leveraging cached results. We show that our Engine delivers 11.3x to 23x faster TTFT compared to vLLM.
