Quantized LLM + RAG (FastAPI + FAISS + Phi‑3)

Goal

Deploy a small, low‑cost LLM with 4‑bit quantization + RAG, exposed via a clean FastAPI service that can run on CPU‑only servers (e.g., Azure Container Instances).

FastAPI API serving a 4‑bit GGUF LLM with a lightweight FAISS RAG pipeline. Designed for low‑cost CPU servers (Azure Container Instances) and local Mac testing.

Features

4‑bit quantized Phi‑3 GGUF (llama.cpp via llama-cpp-python)
Simple RAG with FAISS (cosine similarity)
Wikipedia public-source ingestion (replaceable)
Docker image ready for ACI

# Download 4-bit Phi-3 GGUF
python scripts/download_model.py \
  --repo microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-gguf \
  --filename Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-q4.gguf \
  --out models

# Build FAISS index from public pages
python -m app.ingest --pages "Large_language_model,Azure,Quantization_(signal_processing)" --lang en

# Run API

export N_GPU_LAYERS="-1"   # Metal offload on Mac
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Test:

bash

curl http://localhost:8000/health
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question":"What is quantization in signal processing?"}'

Docker (local)

Build:

docker build -t quant-llm .

Run:

bash

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 \
  -e MODEL_PATH=/models/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-q4.gguf \
  -v "$PWD/models:/models" \
  quant-llm

Azure Container Instances (ACI)

Build + push to ACR:

bash

az group create -n rg-quant-llm -l westeurope
az acr create -n acrquantllm -g rg-quant-llm --sku Basic
az acr login -n acrquantllm
az acr build -t quant-llm:1 -r acrquantllm .

Run in ACI (downloads model at startup):

bash

az container create \
  -g rg-quant-llm \
  -n quant-llm-api \
  --image acrquantllm.azurecr.io/quant-llm:1 \
  --registry-login-server acrquantllm.azurecr.io \
  --registry-username <ACR_USERNAME> \
  --registry-password <ACR_PASSWORD> \
  --cpu 2 --memory 6 \
  --ports 8000 \
  --environment-variables MODEL_PATH=/models/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-q4.gguf N_THREADS=2 N_GPU_LAYERS=0 \
  --command-line "bash -lc 'python scripts/download_model.py --repo microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-gguf --filename Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-q4.gguf --out /models && uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000'"

Get public IP:

az container show -g rg-quant-llm -n quant-llm-api --query ipAddress.ip -o tsv

Config

Environment variables in app/settings.py:

MODEL_PATH (default: models/phi-3-mini-4k-instruct-q4.gguf)
N_CTX (default: 4096)
N_THREADS (default: 8)
N_GPU_LAYERS (default: 0, use -1 on Mac for Metal)
RAG_TOP_K (default: 4)

Notes

4‑bit GGUF is the best CPU-friendly option for cost/memory.
RAG sources are currently Wikipedia; swap app/ingest.py to your own docs.
