You can instantiate a Llama Stack in one of the following ways:
|
|
- **As a Library**: this is the simplest, especially if you are using an external inference service. See [Using Llama Stack as a Library](importing_as_library)
|
|
- **Docker**: we provide a number of pre-built Docker containers so you can start a Llama Stack server instantly. You can also build your own custom Docker container.
|
|
- **Conda**: finally, you can build a custom Llama Stack server using `llama stack build` containing the exact combination of providers you wish. We have provided various templates to make getting started easier.
|
|
|
|
Which templates / distributions to choose depends on the hardware you have for running LLM inference.
|
|
|
|
- **Do you have access to a machine with powerful GPUs?**
|
|
If so, we suggest:
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-remote-vllm` ([Guide](self_hosted_distro/remote-vllm))
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-meta-reference-gpu` ([Guide](self_hosted_distro/meta-reference-gpu))
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-tgi` ([Guide](self_hosted_distro/tgi))
|
|
|
|
- **Are you running on a "regular" desktop machine?**
|
|
If so, we suggest:
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-ollama` ([Guide](self_hosted_distro/ollama))
|
|
|
|
- **Do you have an API key for a remote inference provider like Fireworks, Together, etc.?** If so, we suggest:
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-together` ([Guide](remote_hosted_distro/index))
|
|
- {dockerhub}`distribution-fireworks` ([Guide](remote_hosted_distro/index))
|
|
|
|
- **Do you want to run Llama Stack inference on your iOS / Android device** If so, we suggest:
|
|
- [iOS SDK](ondevice_distro/ios_sdk)
|
|
- Android (coming soon)
|
|
|
|
You can also build your own [custom distribution](building_distro).
