| 1 | +# Lemonade Server Spec (Preview) |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +> This is a preview release. The API specification is subject to change. |
| 4 | +
|
| 5 | +This spec was inspired by the [LM Studio REST API](https://lmstudio.ai/docs/api-reference/rest-api), [Ollama API](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md), and [OpenAI API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/introduction). |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +This spec focuses on enabling client applications by extending existing cloud-focused APIs (e.g., OpenAI) to also include the ability to load and unload models before completion requests are made. These extensions allow for a greater degree of UI/UX responsiveness in native applications by allowing applications to: |
| 8 | +- Pre-load models at UI-loading-time, as opposed to completion-request time. |
| 9 | +- Load models from the local system that were downloaded by other applications (i.e., a common system-wide models cache). |
| 10 | +- Unload models to save memory space. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## API Endpoints |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +- POST `/api/v0/completions` - Text Completions (prompt -> completion) |
| 15 | +- POST `/api/v0/load` - Load a model |
| 16 | +- POST `/api/v0/unload` - Unload a model |
| 17 | +- POST `/api/v0/params` - Set generation parameters |
| 18 | +- GET `/api/v0/health` - Check server health |
| 19 | +- GET `/api/v0/stats` - Performance statistics from the last request |
| 20 | +- GET `/api/v0/models` - List available models |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +> 🚧 We are in the process of developing this interface. Let us know what's important to you on Github or by email (turnkeyml at amd dot com). |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +## Start the REST API server |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +First, install lemonade with your desired backend (e.g., `pip install lemonade[llm-oga-cpu]`). Then, run the following command to start the server: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +```bash |
| 29 | +lemonade server-preview |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Endpoints |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +### `POST /api/v0/completions` <sub></sub> |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Text Completions API. You provide a prompt and receive a streamed completion. This API will also load the model if it is not already loaded. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### Parameters |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +| Parameter | Required | Description | Status | |
| 41 | +|-----------|----------|-------------|--------| |
| 42 | +| `prompt` | Yes | The prompt to use for the completion. | <sub></sub> | |
| 43 | +| `model` | No | The model to use for the completion. If not specified, the server will use the default loaded model. | <sub></sub> | |
| 44 | +| All other params of `/api/v0/load` | No | Detailed loading options as defined in the `/api/v0/load` endpoint. | <sub></sub> | |
| 45 | +| All other params of `/api/v0/params` | No | Detailed generation options as defined in the `/api/v0/params` endpoint. | <sub></sub> | |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Example request |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +```bash |
| 50 | +curl http://localhost:1234/api/v0/completions \ |
| 51 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 52 | + -d '{ |
| 53 | + "model": "<HUGGINGFACE_CHECKPOINT>", |
| 54 | + "prompt": "the meaning of life is", |
| 55 | + }' |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Response format |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +```json |
| 61 | +{ |
| 62 | + "text": " to find your purpose, and once you have", |
| 63 | +} |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +### `GET /api/v0/load` <sub></sub> |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Explicitly load a model. This is useful to ensure that the model is loaded before you make a request. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Parameters |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +| Parameter | Required | Description | |
| 73 | +|-----------|----------|-------------| |
| 74 | +| `model` | Yes | HuggingFace checkpoint to load. | |
| 75 | +| `device` | No | Device to load the model on. Defaults to `hybrid`. | |
| 76 | +| `dtype` | No | Data type to load the model on. Defaults to `int4`. | |
| 77 | +| `cache_dir` | No | Parent directory where models are stored. Defaults to `~/.cache/lemonade`. | |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### Example request |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +```bash |
| 82 | +curl http://localhost:1234/api/v0/load \ |
| 83 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 84 | + -d '{ |
| 85 | + "model": "<HUGGINGFACE_CHECKPOINT>", |
| 86 | + "cache_dir": "/Users/your_username/models" |
| 87 | + }' |
| 88 | +``` |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### Response format |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```json |
| 93 | +{ |
| 94 | + "status": "success", |
| 95 | + "message": "Model loaded successfully" |
| 96 | +} |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | +In case of an error, the status will be `error` and the message will contain the error message. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### `POST /api/v0/unload` <sub></sub> |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +Explicitly unload a model. This is useful to free up memory and disk space while still leaving the server runnning (which takes minimal resources but a few seconds to start). |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Parameters |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +This endpoint does not take any parameters. |
| 108 | + |

| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Response format |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +```json |
| 118 | +{ |
| 119 | + "status": "success", |
| 120 | + "message": "Model unloaded successfully" |
| 121 | +} |
| 122 | +``` |
| 123 | +In case of an error, the status will be `error` and the message will contain the error message. |
| 124 | + |
