How to deploy Databricks Dolly v2 12b, instruction tuned casual language model.

Databricks Dolly is instruction tuned 12 billion parameter casual language model based on EleutherAI's pythia-12b. It was pretrained on The Pile, GPT-J's pretraining corpus. databricks-dolly-15k open source instruction following dataset was used to tune the model.

Getting started

To get started, you'll need an API key from DeepInfra.

  1. Sign up or log in to your DeepInfra account
  2. Navigate to the Dashboard / API Keys section
  3. Create a new API key if you don't have one already

Deployment

You can deploy the databricks/dolly-v2-12b model easily through the web dashboard or by using our API. The model will be automatically deployed when you first run an inference request.

Inference

You can use it with our REST API. Here's how to call the model using curl:

curl -X POST \
    -d '{"prompt": "Who is Elvis Presley?"}' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/databricks/dolly-v2-12b'

We charge per inference request execution time, $0.0005 per second. Inference runs on Nvidia A100 cards. To see the full documentation of how to call this model, check out the model page on our website.

You can browse all available models on our models page.
