Are you ready to take your artificial intelligence and machine learning models to the next level? Using Truss, you can effortlessly serve models in production, making the deployment process smoother than ever. This blog post will guide you through the steps to get started with Truss, ensuring that even the most novice developer can follow along. Let’s dive in!

Getting Started with Truss

To begin your journey with Truss, you need to install it and set up a sample model from their repository. This process is as simple as pie, so follow these steps:

• Clone the Repository:

  First, fetch the repository by running the following command in your terminal:

  git clone https://github.com/basetenlab/truss-examples

• Install Truss:

  Next, you need to install Truss via pip. Use this command:

  pip install --upgrade truss

Deploying Your Model

Now that you have everything set up, it’s time to deploy a model. Think of deploying a model like putting a new movie on a streaming service; you want it to be accessible to viewers (or users) wherever they are.

To deploy a model, navigate to the examples directory and specify which model you want to push to production. This can be done with a simple command:

$ truss push 02-llm

When you execute this, you will be prompted for an API key. Be sure to fetch one from the Baseten API keys page.

Invoking Your Model

Once your model is deployed, invoking it will depend on the input and output specifications defined for that model. It’s akin to sending a message to a friend; you need to know the right way to communicate based on their preferences. Be sure to check the individual model README files for the specific details regarding invocation.
