fsdatalab / quail
An open-source inference engine for AI functions in SQL
Why this job: says: inference engine; topics: vllm, inference
What it does
Quail (QUery-Aware Inference Layer) runs LLMs over large datasets, from SQL, on your own GPUs. Quail's secret sauce is to optimize LLM inference and memory management for each query as a whole. This makes Quail lightning fast: 1.8x faster on average than well-tuned vLLM baselines, and up to 14x faster on queries with AI joins (details)!
