Text Embeddings Inference on Habana Gaudi

To use 🤗 text-embeddings-inference on Habana Gaudi/Gaudi2, follow these steps:

1. Build the Docker image located in this folder with:

   docker build -f Dockerfile-hpu -t tei_gaudi .

2. Launch a local server instance on 1 Gaudi card:

   model=BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5
   volume=$PWD/data # share a volume with the Docker container to avoid downloading weights every run
   
   docker run -p 8080:80 -v $volume:/data --runtime=habana -e HABANA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e OMPI_MCA_btl_vader_single_copy_mechanism=none --cap-add=sys_nice --ipc=host tei_gaudi --model-id $model --pooling cls

3. You can then send a request:

    curl 127.0.0.1:8080/embed \
        -X POST \
        -d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
