Frequently Ask Question about Serverless GPU

How can I find my project ID?

You can locate your project ID through several methods:

Using CLI:

• Run float16 project list

• Your current project ID will appear at the top of the table with "active" status

Checking float16.conf:

• Look for the 'project_id' parameter in your float16.conf file

Why am I getting a "project ID not found" error?

This error occurs when the system cannot locate your project ID. Check the following:

1. Verify that you have a float16.conf file in your current directory

   • If missing, run float16 init to create it

2. Confirm that you have created a project

   • If not, use float16 project create to create one

   • The project ID will automatically update in your float16.conf file

3. If you created the project in another path or folder

   • Locate the float16.conf file in the directory where you last used the project

   • Manually copy the project ID from that configuration file

   • Apply the copied project ID to your current working directory's configuration

4. If you're still experiencing issues, contact our support team

Why am I getting "files not found" errors when running or deploying?

This error typically occurs when:

• The file is actually missing

• You're trying to access files in subfolders

You must be in the same directory as your target file when using run or deploy commands.

Why does my remote storage contain files I didn't copy?

The CLI automatically uploads certain files:

• All .py files in your directory during run or deploy operations

• Your requirements.txt file (if not empty) when you use float16 project start

When to use float16 project start ?

Imagine your project is like a car parked in a garage. The float16 project start command is essentially turning the key and warming up the engine. It's your go-to command when you want to breathe life into your project's environment.

Think of it as a wake-up call for your development container. After creating a new project or if you've been away for more than 24 hours, this command springs your environment back to action. It does two critical things: creates or reactivates your container and automatically installs all the libraries specified in your requirements.txt.

• New project? Run float16 project start

• Haven't coded in over a day? Use the command

PS. In deployment mode, you won't need this—the float16 deploy command handles container activation automatically.

Why am I not getting any response?

In the beta version, there is a computation time limit. If your computation exceeds this limit, you will receive a null response from the server.

Why am I getting "Endpoint is unavailable" response?

Your endpoint is currently inactive. When an endpoint is in an inactive state, it cannot process requests or return responses.

How to Verify:

• Use float16 endpoint command to view current status

How to Resolve:

float16 endpoint start

What is the difference between On-Demand and Spot tasks?

On-Demand Task

An on-demand task runs for a maximum of 60-120 seconds without any interruptions. It supports three trigger types: manual, function, and server. These tasks can be executed in both development mode and production mode. Pricing is based on the on-demand rate.

Spot Task

A spot task runs in Spot Mode, which allows execution beyond 30 seconds but can be interrupted if an on-demand task requires resources. Once the on-demand task is completed, the spot task automatically resumes. Pricing follows the spot rate, which is typically lower than the on-demand rate.
