Our Products
nm-vllm is an enterprise inferencing system for deployments of open-source large language models (LLMs) on GPUs. There is one edition:
- Enterprise: fully licensed for production, commercial applications with our MSLSA. Telemetry data is collected with the ability to opt out of usage analytics.
DeepSparse is a sparsity-aware enterprise inferencing system for LLMs, CV and NLP models on CPUs. It comes in two editions:
- Community: free for evaluation, research, and non-production use with our Community License. Telemetry data is collected.
- Enterprise: fully licensed for production, commercial applications with our MSLSA or can be distributed through cloud marketplaces. Telemetry data is collected.
SparseML is an open-source library for applying compression techniques to neural networks with a few lines of code, enabling faster and smaller models.
SparseZoo is an online neural network model repository for highly sparse and sparse-quantized models with matching sparsification recipes.
