"""Serve a trained LoRA adapter for OpenAI-style chat via a managed RunPod Flash GPU. Two deployment modes (the cost/latency trade-off is explicit and user-chosen): - ``dev`` (default): scale-to-zero. ``workers=(0,1)`` with a configurable idle timeout and FlashBoot — you accept a cold start after inactivity, and pay $0 while idle. - ``always-on``: ``workers=(1,1)`` — one worker stays warm 24/7 (no cold starts, continuous billing). ``slm deployments`` shows the projected $/day so the cost is never a surprise. Each run gets its OWN uniquely-named serve endpoint (``autoslm-serve--``), so deployments never fight over a shared endpoint config and ``slm undeploy `` can tear down exactly one deployment (via the REST API, from any process). The handler boots vLLM with the base model + the LoRA adapter (pulled from the HF dataset repo the trainer streamed it to) and returns an OpenAI-shaped chat-completion.
