Sign up for IBM watsonx as a Service.

Log in and create an API key.

If you do not have one yet, create a project.

Add a connection to the Object Storage data source in IBM Cloud.

Import the model.

Deploy the model.

Test the deployment.

Install RHEL-AI on IBM Cloud.

Using the IBM Cloud CLI, get a bearer token.

ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens

Update the variables from this bash script and run it.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Replace variable with the bearer token
BEARER_TOKEN="XXX"
# Replace variable with the Object Storage bucket name
CUSTOMER_BUCKET="XXX"
# Replace variable with the Object Storage endpoint
COS_ENDPOINT=https://s3.direct.us-east.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud
# Replace variable with the model ID
MODEL_PREFIX="trained_models/XXX/model/"
# Replace variable with the model directory path
MODEL_DIR=/root/model/modeltest
curl -v -G "$COS_ENDPOINT/$CUSTOMER_BUCKET" --data-urlencode "list-type=2" --data-urlencode "prefix=$MODEL_PREFIX" -H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN" >/tmp/rawxml.txt
cat /tmp/rawxml.txt | awk '{split($0,a,"<Key>"); for (i=1; i<=length(a); i++)  print a[i]}' >/tmp/keysonnewline.txt
mkdir -p "$MODEL_DIR"
while read -r line; do
    if [[ "$line" != "trained_models"* ]]; then
        continue
    fi
    KEY_TO_DOWNLOAD=$(echo "$line" | awk -F '<' '{print $1}')
    FILE_NAME=$(basename "$KEY_TO_DOWNLOAD")
    curl -X "GET" "$COS_ENDPOINT/$CUSTOMER_BUCKET/$KEY_TO_DOWNLOAD" -H "Authorization: Bearer $BEARER_TOKEN" >"${MODEL_DIR}/$FILE_NAME"
done </tmp/keysonnewline.txt

Then use the ilab commands to serve and chat.

ilab model serve --model-path $MODEL_DIR -- --tensor-parallel-size 1 --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

ilab model chat --endpoint-url http://localhost:8080/v1 -m $MODEL_DIR
