Running AI Models Without GPUs on Serverless Platforms
SMRTR summary
The Llama 3.2 1B model was successfully deployed on AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Run using serverless computing. The experiment revealed that with proper configuration (6GB memory, increased ephemeral storage, and CPU boost on GCP), the model could generate about 25-30 tokens per second at a cost of roughly $0.00015-0.00018 per 500 tokens, demonstrating viability for lightweight AI tasks on serverless platforms.
