I wanted to build an inference provider for proprietary AI models, but I did not have a huge GPU farm. I started experimenting with Serverless AI inference, but found out that coldstarts were huge. I went deep into the research and put together an engine that loads large models from SSD to VRAM up to ten times faster than alternatives. It works with vLLM, and transformers, and more coming soon.With this project you can hot-swap entire large models (32B) on demand.Its great for:Serverless AI InferenceRoboticsOn Prem deploymentsLocal AgentsAnd Its open source.Let me know if anyone wants to contribute :)

Could you build this?
No Serving 100 large models on one GPU with low TTFT requires deep systems research in GPU memory management, custom CUDA kernels, PCIe/NVMe direct transfer pipelines, and model weight paging.
What it would actually take: Requires deep C++/CUDA systems engineering, custom paging and weight-streaming architectures (similar to vLLM/DeepSpeed or GPUDirect Storage), and advanced operating system memory virtualization. A developer must write low-level kernel drivers and asynchronous GPU copy routines while benchmarking sub-millisecond TTFT under heavy contention.

Concerns raised: GPU memory limitations for large models
Feature requests: Hot-swap model portions to run sequentially on limited GPU memory, Split model inference across multiple GPU memory loads
