Description
What did you find confusing? Please describe.
Huggingface have documented how to use the sagemaker pytorch inference API in order to host their models. They make it quite clear that you must supply model_fn
and then either transform_fn
or (input_fn
, predict_fn
and output_fn
). By using transform_fn
you can have fine control of batch size for example, allowing you to handle large requests (in particular I have an issue where my batch transform jobs continuously die because the minimum payload of 1MB is way to large for my model - due to the large intermediate matrices I..e probabilities = batch_szie x num_labels)
I cannot find any mention of transform_fn
in the documentation - https://sagemaker.readthedocs.io/en/stable/frameworks/pytorch/using_pytorch.html
It is mentioned in passing in one of the examples - https://sagemaker-examples.readthedocs.io/en/latest/frameworks/pytorch/get_started_mnist_deploy.html
Describe how documentation can be improved
Document the use of transform_fn
as an alternative to input_fn
, predict_fn
and output_fn
