AI Model Marketplace

Introduction to running AI models on Lilypad with the Module Marketplace

Lilypad makes it easy to deploy and run AI models with an AI model hub called the Lilypad Module Marketplace.

Currently setup in the awesome-lilypad github repo, the Module Marketplace makes it easy for AI model creators to distribute their work and for the community to quickly get started running a wide range of open source AI models.

There are two ways that participants in the network can interact with Lilypad Modules: As Job Creators who run modules, or as Module Creators who create modules.

Running Modules

Running Jobs (participating as a 'Job Creator') is just a few simple steps:

• Use the Lilypad AI inference API or install our CLI

• Choose a module to run and send a job request

Example Modules

Try out some of the Lilypad team modules:

• Cowsay

• Llama2

• Stable Diffusion Turbo Pipeline

Additional modules from the community are available in the awesome-lilypad repo.

Creating Modules

A Lilypad Module is a standard containerized (Docker) process for running compute workloads on Lilypad.

Modules can be developed by any member of the community (participating as a 'Module Creator'). If there is an AI model (or other compute job) you wish to run using the Lilypad Network resources, create a new Module and add it to the Module Marketplace!
