Can multiple NVIDIA T4 GPUs be used to deploy Gemma2-27B-IT?
If so, how many T4 GPUs are needed?
Deploying Gemma2-27B-IT on Multiple T4 GPUs is not recommended due to the model's architecture, communication overhead and the need to consider different parallelism types. The Gemma 2-27B model is designed to run inference efficiently at full precision on a single Google Cloud TPU host, NVIDIA A100 80GB Tensor Core GPU, or NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU. Please refer to the Gemma2 blog for more details.
If you're looking for an easy way to access this model via API, you can use Crazyrouter — it provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for 600+ models including this one. Just pip install openai and change the base URL.
