Error: "Only able to place X replicas, but Y replicas were requested"

[spring1915]

I ran

client = mii.serve("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2")
response = client.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=128, tensor_parallel=2,  replica_num=2)

on AWS ml.g5.12xlarge with 4 GPUs on one instance. I got this error Only able to place 1 replicas, but 2 replicas were requested. A similar error (Only able to place 1 replicas, but 4 replicas were requested.) also occurred when I used client.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=128, replica_num=4).

I used AWS DJL DeepSpeed to run, with this serving.properties file:

engine=DeepSpeed
option.entrypoint=model.py

model.py is a customized file, containing the code above and other simple scripts needed when using the DJL server.

Hi @spring1915 the tensor_parallel and replica_num values should be passed to mii.serve. I've updated MII in #386 to error out when providing extra kwargs that we do not support to the generate method. Can you please update your code to the following and try again?

client = mii.serve("mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2", tensor_parallel=2,  replica_num=2)
response = client.generate(inputs, max_new_tokens=128)
