| sidebar-title | Profile Ranking Models with AIPerf |
|---|
AIPerf supports benchmarking ranking and reranking models, including those served through Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) or Cohere Re-Rank APIs. These models take a query and one or more passages, returning a similarity or relevance score.
Launch a Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference (TEI) container in re-ranker mode:
docker run --gpus all --rm -it \
-p 8080:80 \
-e MODEL_ID=BAAI/bge-reranker-base \
ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:latest \
--model-id BAAI/bge-reranker-base --port 80# Verify server is running
curl -s http://localhost:8080/rerank \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"What is AI?", "texts":["AI is artificial intelligence.","Bananas are yellow."]}' | jqRun AIPerf using the following command:
aiperf profile \
-m BAAI/bge-reranker-base \
--endpoint-type hf_tei_rankings \
--url localhost:8080 \
--request-count 10 \
--rankings-passages-mean 5 \
--rankings-passages-stddev 1 \
--rankings-passages-prompt-token-mean 32 \
--rankings-passages-prompt-token-stddev 8 \
--rankings-query-prompt-token-mean 16 \
--rankings-query-prompt-token-stddev 4Sample Output (Successful Run):
