Introduction

The DeGirum AI Inference Software Development Kit, PySDK, is a Python package which provides APIs to perform inference on ML models.

PySDK consists of the following components:

1. PySDK library, which includes the following essential modules:

   • degirum.zoo_manager - AI model zoo management classes
   • degirum.model module - AI model management classes
   • degirum.postprocessor module - AI inference result handling classes

2. The CoreClient extension module implementing APIs to work with DeGirum AI accelerator cards installed locally

3. The aiclient extension module implementing APIs to work with DeGirium AI servers running on remote systems
4. The degirum.server module - helper module that allows launching AI server on a local AI hardware to be used by remote clients.
5. The degirum console script implementing command-line interface to various PySDK management facilities.

The PySDK package provides the necessary tools to support the following use cases:

• Local Inference: perform AI inferences on the local system using DeGirum AI accelerator hardware installed on the same system
• AI Server Hosting: deploy the system with installed DeGirum AI accelerator hardware as AI server
• AI Server Inference: connect to one or several AI servers and perform AI inferences on those servers remotely
• Cloud Inference: connect to DeGirum Cloud Platform and perform AI inferences in the cloud
