About
A fully decentralized inference engine developed by Gradient. Parallax lets you build your own AI cluster for model inference onto a set of distributed nodes despite their varying configuration and physical location. Its core features include:
- Host local LLM on personal devices
- Cross-platform support
- Pipeline parallel model sharding
- Paged KV cache management & continuous batching for Mac
- Dynamic request scheduling and routing for high performance
The backend architecture:
- P2P communication powered by Lattica
- GPU backend powered by SGLang and vLLM
- Mac backend powered by MLX LM
