Welcome to K3ai Project

K3ai is a lightweight tool to get an AI Infrastructure Stack up in minutes not days.

NOTE on the K3ai origins

Original K3ai Project has been developed at the end of October 2020 in 2 weeks by:

Alessandro Festa https://github.com/alefesta
Gabriele Santomaggio https://github.com/GSantomaggio

K3ai v1.0 has been entirely re-written by Alessandro Festa during the month of October 2021 to offer a better User Experience.

Thanks to the amazing and incredible people and projects that have been instrumental to create K3ai project repositories,website,etc...

Docusaurs - How simple and amazing is to use for your own website (https://k3ai.in)
https://undraw.co/ - The amazing work created by Katerina Limpitsouni (https://twitter.com/ninaLimpi) is a real piece of art
https://getemoji.com/ - We all need some emoji in our life isn't it?
https://clig.dev/ -- K3ai is completly inspired by the Command Line Guidelines manifesto.

⚡️ Quick start

Let's discover K3ai in three simple steps.

🌘 Getting Started

Get started by download k3ai from the release page here.

Or try K3ai companion script using this command:

curl -LO https://get.k3ai.in | sh -

🌗 Load K3ai configuration

Let's start loading the configuration:

k3ai up

First time k3ai run will ask for a Github PAT (Personal Access Token) that we will use to avoid API calls limitations. Check Github Documentation to learn how to create one. Your personal GH PAT only need read repository permission.

🌖 Configure the base infrastructure

Choose your favourite Kubernetes flavor and run it:

To know which K8s flavors are available

k3ai cluster list --all

it should print something like:

Now let start with something super fast and super simple:

k3ai cluster deploy --type k3s --n mycluster

🌝 Install a plugin to do your AI experimentations

Now that the server is up and running let's type:

k3ai plugin deploy -n mlflow -t mycluster

K3ai will print the url where you may access to the MLFLow tracking server at the end of the installation. That's all now just start having fun with K3ai!

🌈 Push a piece of code to the AI tools and focus on your goals

Let's push some code to the AI tool (i.e.: MLFlow)

k3ai run --source https://github.com/k3ai/quickstart --target mycluster --backend mlflow

wait the run to complete and login the backend AI tolls (i.e.: on the MLFlow UI http://<YOUR IP>:30500)
