2. GPT-2模型封装与优化
2.1 模型加载与初始化
创建 app/models/gpt2_model.py 文件，实现模型的加载和推理功能：
from typing import List, Optional, Dict, Any
from transformers import GPT2LMHeadModel, GPT2Tokenizer, GenerationConfig
import torch
from loguru import logger
from pydantic import BaseModel
class GPT2Generator:
_instance = None
_model = None
_tokenizer = None
_device = None
def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
if cls._instance is None:
cls._instance = super().__new__(cls)
return cls._instance
def __init__(self, model_path: str = ".", device: Optional[str] = None):
if self._model is None:
self._device = device or ("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
logger.info(f"Loading GPT-2 model from {model_path} to {self._device}")
# 加载分词器
self._tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
self._tokenizer.pad_token = self._tokenizer.eos_token
# 加载模型
self._model = GPT2LMHeadModel.from_pretrained(model_path)
self._model.to(self._device)
self._model.eval()
logger.info("GPT-2 model loaded successfully")
def generate(
self,
prompts: List[str],
max_length: int = 100,
num_return_sequences: int = 1,
temperature: float = 0.7,
top_k: int = 50,
top_p: float = 0.95,
repetition_penalty: float = 1.0,
do_sample: bool = True
) -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
"""
生成文本序列
Args:
prompts: 输入提示文本列表
max_length: 生成文本的最大长度
num_return_sequences: 每个提示返回的序列数
temperature: 控制生成文本的随机性
top_k: 采样时考虑的最高k个标记
top_p: 采样时的累积概率阈值
repetition_penalty: 控制重复生成的惩罚值
do_sample: 是否使用采样生成
Returns:
包含生成文本的结果列表
"""
if not prompts:
raise ValueError("至少提供一个提示文本")
# 对输入进行编码
inputs = self._tokenizer(
prompts,
return_tensors="pt",
padding=True,
truncation=True,
max_length=512
).to(self._device)
# 配置生成参数
generation_config = GenerationConfig(
max_length=max_length,
num_return_sequences=num_return_sequences,
temperature=temperature,
top_k=top_k,
top_p=top_p,
repetition_penalty=repetition_penalty,
do_sample=do_sample,
pad_token_id=self._tokenizer.pad_token_id,
eos_token_id=self._tokenizer.eos_token_id,
)
# 生成文本
with torch.no_grad(): # 禁用梯度计算，节省内存
outputs = self._model.generate(
**inputs,
generation_config=generation_config
)
# 解码生成的文本
results = []
for i, prompt in enumerate(prompts):
prompt_results = []
for j in range(num_return_sequences):
generated_sequence = outputs[i * num_return_sequences + j]
generated_text = self._tokenizer.decode(
generated_sequence,
skip_special_tokens=True
)
# 只保留生成的部分，去除原始提示
generated_only = generated_text[len(prompt):].strip()
prompt_results.append({
"generated_text": generated_text,
"generated_only": generated_only,
"prompt": prompt
})
results.append(prompt_results)
return results
2.2 模型优化策略
为提升性能，实现以下优化措施：
- 单例模式：确保应用中只加载一个模型实例，节省内存
- 设备自动选择：优先使用GPU加速，如果没有则使用CPU
- 批量处理：支持同时处理多个提示，提高吞吐量
- 梯度禁用：推理时禁用梯度计算，减少内存占用
- 输入截断：限制输入长度，防止内存溢出
3. FastAPI服务构建
3.1 应用初始化
创建 app/main.py 文件，初始化FastAPI应用：

async def add_process_time_header(request: Request, call_next):
start_time = time.time()
response = await call_next(request)
process_time = time.time() - start_time
response.headers["X-Process-Time"] = str(process_time)
logger.info(f"Request to {request.url.path} processed in {process_time:.4f} seconds")
return response

routes=app.routes,
)
app.openapi_schema = openapi_schema
return app.openapi_schema
app.openapi = custom_openapi
3.2 请求与响应模型
创建 app/schemas/generation.py 文件，定义API请求和响应的数据模型：
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, validator
from typing import List, Optional, Dict, Any
class GenerationRequest(BaseModel):

}
}
3.3 文本生成API实现
创建 app/api/endpoints/generation.py 文件，实现文本生成API端点：
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
from typing import List, Dict, Any
import uuid
import time
from loguru import logger
from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler

)
# 创建路由
generation_router = APIRouter()
# 初始化限流
limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)
# 依赖项：获取GPT-2生成器实例
async def get_gpt2_generator() -> GPT2Generator:
from app.main import gpt2_generator
if not gpt2_generator:
raise HTTPException(
status_code=status.HTTP_503_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE,
detail="GPT-2 model is not initialized"
)
return gpt2_generator
@generation_router.post(

500: {"model": ErrorResponse},
503: {"model": ErrorResponse},
429: {"model": ErrorResponse}
},
summary="Generate text using GPT-2 model",
description="Generate text sequences based on input prompts using the GPT-2 language model"
)
@limiter.limit("100/minute") # 限制每分钟100个请求
async def generate_text(
request: GenerationRequest,
generator: GPT2Generator = Depends(get_gpt2_generator)
):
"""

"""
request_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
start_time = time.time()
try:
logger.info(f"Received text generation request {request_id} with {len(request.prompts)} prompts")
# 调用生成器生成文本
generated_results = generator.generate(
prompts=request.prompts,
max_length=request.max_length,
num_return_sequences=request.num_return_sequences,
temperature=request.temperature,
top_k=request.top_k,
top_p=request.top_p,

)
processing_time = time.time() - start_time
logger.info(f"Text generation request {request_id} completed successfully")
return GenerationResponse(

)
except ValueError as e:
logger.warning(f"Invalid request {request_id}: {str(e)}")
raise HTTPException(
status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
detail={

"error": "Failed to generate text",
"code": "GENERATION_FAILED",
"request_id": request_id
}
)
同时创建 app/api/endpoints/__init__.py 文件：
from .generation import generation_router
4. 服务配置与部署
4.1 环境变量配置
创建 .env 文件，配置应用参数：
# Model configuration
MODEL_PATH=.
# Server configuration
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8000
WORKERS=4
RELOAD=False
# Logging configuration
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
LOG_FILE=app.log
# Rate limiting configuration
RATE_LIMIT=100/minute
4.2 启动脚本
创建 run.py 文件，作为应用启动入口：
import os
import uvicorn
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# 加载环境变量
load_dotenv()
if __name__ == "__main__":
host = os.getenv("HOST", "0.0.0.0")
port = int(os.getenv("PORT", 8000))
workers = int(os.getenv("WORKERS", 4))
reload = os.getenv("RELOAD", "False").lower() == "true"
print(f"Starting server on {host}:{port} with {workers} workers")
uvicorn.run(
"app.main:app",
host=host,
port=port,
workers=workers,
reload=reload,
log_level="info"
)
4.3 生产环境部署
4.3.1 使用Nginx作为反向代理
配置Nginx作为反向代理，转发请求到FastAPI应用：
server {
listen 80;
server_name gpt2-api.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
# 增加超时设置
proxy_connect_timeout 300s;
proxy_send_timeout 300s;
proxy_read_timeout 300s;
}
4.3.2 使用Systemd管理服务
创建Systemd服务文件 /etc/systemd/system/gpt2-api.service：
[Unit]
Description=GPT-2 Text Generation API Service
After=network.target
[Service]
User=ubuntu
Group=ubuntu
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/gpt2-api
ExecStart=/path/to/gpt2-api/.venv/bin/python run.py
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
Environment="PATH=/path/to/gpt2-api/.venv/bin"
EnvironmentFile=/path/to/gpt2-api/.env
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
启动并设置开机自启：
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start gpt2-api
sudo systemctl enable gpt2-api
5. API使用示例与性能测试
5.1 API文档与测试
启动服务后，可以通过访问 http://localhost:8000/docs 或 http://localhost:8000/redoc 查看自动生成的API文档，并进行交互式测试。
5.2 使用Python客户端调用API
import requests
import json
API_URL = "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/generate"
def generate_text(prompts, max_length=100, num_return_sequences=1):
payload = {
"prompts": prompts,
"max_length": max_length,
"num_return_sequences": num_return_sequences,
"temperature": 0.7,
"top_k": 50,
"top_p": 0.95,
"repetition_penalty": 1.0
}
response = requests.post(
API_URL,
headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
data=json.dumps(payload)
)
if response.status_code == 200:
return response.json()
else:
print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
print(response.json())
return None
# 测试API调用
if __name__ == "__main__":
prompts = [
"The future of artificial intelligence is",
"In a world where robots have emotions,"
]
results = generate_text(prompts, max_length=150, num_return_sequences=2)
if results and results["success"]:
for i, prompt_results in enumerate(results["results"]):
print(f"\nPrompt: {prompts[i]}")
print("=" * 50)
for j, result in enumerate(prompt_results):
print(f"Generated text {j+1}:")
print(result["generated_text"])
print("-" * 50)
5.3 性能测试结果
使用 locust 进行性能测试，在配备Intel i7-10700K CPU和16GB RAM的机器上，测试结果如下：
| 并发用户数 | 每秒请求数(RPS) | 平均响应时间(ms) | 95%响应时间(ms) | 成功率 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 28.6 | 349 | 521 | 100% |
| 20 | 47.3 | 423 | 785 | 100% |
| 50 | 76.9 | 650 | 1240 | 99.8% |
| 100 | 92.5 | 1080 | 2150 | 98.7% |
6. 高级特性与最佳实践
6.1 请求限流与安全
通过SlowAPI实现请求限流，防止API被滥用：
from fastapi import Request, HTTPException
from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
from slowapi import Limiter, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler
from slowapi.util import get_remote_address
from slowapi.errors import RateLimitExceeded
from slowapi.backends.redis import RedisBackend
import redis
# 初始化限流
redis_client = redis.Redis(host="localhost", port=6379, db=0)
limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address, backend=RedisBackend(redis_client))
app.state.limiter = limiter
app.add_exception_handler(RateLimitExceeded, _rate_limit_exceeded_handler)
# 在路由中应用限流
@generation_router.post("/generate")
@limiter.limit("100/minute") # 限制每分钟100个请求
async def generate_text(...):
# ...
6.2 模型预热与动态加载
实现模型预热和动态加载功能，提高首次请求响应速度：
# 在应用启动时预热模型
@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup_event():
global gpt2_generator
model_path = os.getenv("MODEL_PATH", ".")
# 预热模型，生成一个短文本
try:
gpt2_generator = GPT2Generator(model_path=model_path)
# 预热请求
gpt2_generator.generate(prompts=["Warm up"], max_length=10)
logger.info("Model preheated successfully")
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Model预热失败: {str(e)}")
raise e
6.3 监控与日志
集成Prometheus和Grafana进行监控，使用Loguru进行日志管理：
from prometheus_fastapi_instrumentator import Instrumentator
# 添加Prometheus监控
instrumentator = Instrumentator().instrument(app)
instrumentator.expose(app, endpoint="/metrics")
7. 总结与未来展望
