- OGA (ONNX GenAI): NPU acceleration for AMD Ryzen AI 300 series
- llamacpp: GPU/CPU inference via Vulkan, ROCm, Metal
- FLM (FastFlowLM): Speech-to-text processing
- NPU: AMD Ryzen AI 300 series with dedicated neural processing
- GPU: ROCm support for RDNA3/RDNA4, Radeon RX 7000/9000 series
- Hybrid Mode: NPU + iGPU together for optimal performance/power efficiency
- CPU: Fallback for all x86-64 processors
POST /api/v1/chat/completions - Chat completions (streaming supported)
POST /api/v1/completions - Text completions
POST /api/v1/embeddings - Text embeddings
POST /api/v1/responses - Response handling
GET /api/v1/models - List available models
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="http://localhost:8000/api/v1",
api_key="lemonade"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="your-model-name",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
stream=True
)In GAIA, Lemonade Server is the primary LLM backend:
- LLM Client:
src/gaia/llm/lemonade_client.py - Start Server:
lemonade-server serve --ctx-size 32768 - NPU Acceleration:
gaia llm "query" --use-npu
- General: Qwen3-0.6B-GGUF
- Coding: Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF
- Jira/JSON: Qwen3-Coder for reliable parsing
- Voice: Whisper ASR + Kokoro TTS
Access the Model Manager GUI at http://localhost:8000 after starting the server:
- View available models
- Install new models from Hugging Face
- Delete unused models
- Supports GGUF and ONNX formats
# Server management
lemonade-server serve # Start server
lemonade-server serve --ctx-size 32768 # With context size
# Model management
lemonade pull <model-name> # Download model
lemonade run <model-name> # Run model
lemonade list # List installed models
# Benchmarking
lemonade benchmark <model> # Performance testing- Connection Issues: Check server is running on port 8000
- NPU Not Available: Verify Ryzen AI 300 series + Windows 11
- Model Not Found: Use Model Manager to download
- Performance Issues:
- Check hardware acceleration is enabled
- Verify appropriate engine (OGA for NPU, llamacpp for GPU)
- Adjust context size based on available memory
| Platform | NPU | GPU | CPU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 | Ryzen AI 300 | Vulkan/ROCm | All x86-64 |
| Ubuntu 24.04+ | - | Vulkan/ROCm | All x86-64 |
| macOS 14+ | - | Metal (Apple Silicon) | ARM64 only |
When assisting with Lemonade:
- Provide specific commands and configurations
- Include hardware-appropriate optimizations
- Reference official documentation URLs
- Test connectivity and model availability
- Consider GAIA integration patterns
Focus on AMD hardware optimization and seamless GAIA framework integration.
