+
53
+ **State-aware speculative execution for serverless GPUs.**
54
+
55
+ > First valid result wins. Loser cancellation is audited — and the receipt
56
+ > says when the cloud didn't stop.
57
+
58
+ Serverless GPU cold starts are wildly bimodal: the same 17 GB TTS model
59
+ returns complete audio in ~6 s on a warm-path hit but 89–122 s on a miss —
60
+ with nothing in between. In 36 evaluation rounds across three real providers,
61
+ a delayed hedge cut p95 cold-start latency from **116.6 s to 29.4 s**, cut
62
+ 60-second deadline misses from **11/36 to 0/36**, and launched a second job on
63
+ only **11/36** requests.
64
+
65
+ The sharper discovery: the primary provider's **queue state at 2.5 seconds**
66
+ predicted every 90–122 s tail with zero overlap in 54 rounds — early enough
67
+ to cancel the queued job *before its worker starts* and reroute. A
68
+ pre-registered live validation found the cutover reduced median latency from
69
+ 29.8 s to 22.6 s and cut RunPod-side billed cost from $0.01475 to
70
+ $0.00532/request — but one 104.2 s *hedge-provider* tail made its p95
71
+ advantage estimator-sensitive at n=20 (28.2 s vs 31.0 s under nearest-rank,
72
+ 32.0 s vs 31.0 s under linear interpolation), so we don't claim that
73
+ hypothesis. The outlier motivated the **cascaded policy** below. Full
74
+ results are under
75
+ [`benchmarks/2026-07-queue-cutover/`](benchmarks/2026-07-queue-cutover/).
76
+
77
+ ![queue delay predicts the tail](benchmarks/2026-07-moss/figures/fig1_queue_delay_hero.png)
78
+
79
+ ## What it does
80
+
81
+ GPUHedge races your *own* deployments (containers, weights, custom code)
82
+ across serverless GPU clouds under an SLO policy:
83
+
84
+ 1. submit the request to the cheap/fast **primary**;
85
+ 2. watch the primary's **lifecycle state** (queue vs running), not just a timer;
86
+ 3. launch a **hedge** only when the primary is entering its tail — and
87
+ **escalate to a third provider** when the hedge enters its own
88
+ (`CascadePolicy`, at most two live jobs);
89
+ 4. return the **first result that passes validation** (a fast HTTP 200 with
90
+ malformed output does not win);
91
+ 5. **cancel every loser** through its provider-native job API and record a
92
+ structured `CancellationReceipt` with an explicit **evidence level**
93
+ (`confirmed_terminal` > `provider_ack` > `request_channel_closed` >
94
+ `no_evidence`), cancellation scope, ack latency, estimated wasted GPU-$,
95
+ and a leak flag that defaults to *leaked* until proof arrives.
96
+
97
+ ## Try it in 60 seconds — no accounts, no spend
98
+
99
+ ```bash
100
+ pip install -e .
101
+ gpuhedge demo # simulated providers, real policy engines
102
+ gpuhedge replay traces/moss_rounds.jsonl # reproduce the benchmark tables
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ The demo races a bimodal primary against a steady hedge through the exact
106
+ code paths used against real clouds — including a malformed-result round the
107
+ validator catches and a queued-cancel cutover.
108
+
109
+ ## The public API
110
+
111
+ ```python
112
+ from gpuhedge import Router
113
+ from gpuhedge.policies import StateAwarePolicy
114
+
115
+ router = Router(
116
+ primary="runpod", hedge="cerebrium",
117
+ policy=StateAwarePolicy(queue_cutover_ms=2_500, safety_hedge_ms=8_500),
118
+ )
119
+ outcome = await router.run()
120
+ outcome.winner # "runpod" | "cerebrium"
121
+ outcome.total_ms # end-to-end latency from request start
122
+ outcome.cancellation # the loser's receipt (or None if no hedge launched)
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ Policies: `SingleProvider()`, `FixedHedgePolicy(hedge_after_ms)`,
126
+ `StateAwarePolicy(queue_cutover_ms, safety_hedge_ms)`, and
127
+ `CascadePolicy(queue_cutover_ms, safety_hedge_ms, escalate_after_ms)` (pass
128
+ `fallback="modal"` to the Router). Policies are dispatched through one
129
+ protocol method — implement `async def execute(self, ctx)` plus
130
+ `min_providers` and your own policy runs exactly like the built-ins.
131
+ Validators are pluggable (`wav`, `json`, `nonempty`, or
132
+ `register_validator("mine")(...)`).
133
+
134
+ Providers are YAML: built-in adapters for **RunPod** (Flash queue SDK +
135
+ REST), **Modal** (`FunctionCall.spawn`/`cancel`), **Cerebrium** (sync-first
136
+ REST), a **simulator** (`adapter: sim`), and a **generic HTTP adapter**
137
+ (`adapter: http`) that turns any submit/status/result/cancel service into a
138
+ raceable backend without writing Python — see
139
+ [`docs/adding-a-provider.md`](docs/adding-a-provider.md).
140
+
141
+ ## The benchmark (2026-07, MOSS-TTS-v1.5, three providers)
142
+
143
+ Same 17 GB model, same commit, same request, pre-seeded weights, identical
144
+ WAV validation on every arm. 54 paired cold-start rounds + warm companions,
145
+ 18 live hedged requests, ~$7 of GPU spend, every trace committed under
146
+ [`traces/`](traces/) (sanitized: job ids remapped, account balances withheld,
147
+ deployment identifiers replaced — every latency, receipt, and cost delta is
148
+ untouched, so all tables and figures reproduce identically). Full method and
149
+ results: [`benchmarks/2026-07-moss/`](benchmarks/2026-07-moss/). Regenerate
150
+ the figures with `pip install -e ".[analysis]" && python
151
+ benchmarks/2026-07-moss/analysis.py` (CI does this on every push).
152

159

160
+ \* the cutover and cascade rows are post-hoc replays on data that informed
161
+ them; the cutover's own pre-registered, randomized 60-request live validation
162
+ (with account-level billing deltas and forced loser-cancels on all three
163
+ providers) is in
164
+ [`benchmarks/2026-07-queue-cutover/`](benchmarks/2026-07-queue-cutover/). In
165
+ this replay the hedge never stalled, so the cascade's escalation never fired
166
+ — identical numbers, tail protection for free.
167
+
168
+ | Pre-registered live validation (20/arm) | p50 | p90 | max | miss>60 s | RunPod billed $/req |
169

172

173
+
174
+ The cutover passed the RunPod-billing and queued-cancel-unbilled hypotheses
175
+ and clearly improved typical latency, but its registered p95 hypothesis is
176
+ **inconclusive** — at n=20 the verdict flips with the quantile estimator
177
+ (28.2 s vs 31.0 s nearest-rank, 32.0 s vs 31.0 s linear) — and it failed the
178
+ zero-miss and active-cost-order hypotheses: one correctly-switched request
179
+ spent 104.2 s on the hedge provider's own tail. See the
180
+ [validation results](benchmarks/2026-07-queue-cutover/results.md).
181
+
182
+ **That 104.2 s outlier is why the cascade exists**: the primary can have a
183
+ tail, but so can the hedge. `CascadePolicy` escalates to a third provider
184
+ when the sole surviving attempt has produced nothing by `escalate_after_ms`
185
+ (never more than two live jobs). Its live validation is pre-registered — with
186
+ the quantile estimator fixed and request-level interleaving this time — in
187
+ [`benchmarks/2026-08-cascade/`](benchmarks/2026-08-cascade/preregistration.yaml)
188
+ and has not run yet; `gpuhedge demo` shows the mechanism on simulated
189
+ providers today.
190
+
191
+ **Cost honesty**: "active $" is modeled execution-seconds × rate. Real bills
192
+ also include idle windows (one provider's balance delta ran ~3× its summed
193
+ per-job execution time at a 60 s idle timeout) — both models are reported,
194
+ and the validation measures actual balance deltas per policy arm. See
195
+ [`docs/cost-accounting.md`](docs/cost-accounting.md).
196
+
197
+ **Cancellation honesty**: every receipt carries an explicit evidence level —
198
+ RunPod cancels are polled to a `confirmed_terminal` state with billing
199
+ reconciled; Modal cancels are `provider_ack` only (input-granular: the
200
+ container idles to its scaledown window and keeps billing); Cerebrium's
201
+ strongest proof is `request_channel_closed`. Anything less is recorded as a
202
+ leak, never assumed stopped. The capability matrix in
203
+ [`docs/provider-capabilities.md`](docs/provider-capabilities.md) states
204
+ exactly which cancel paths have been exercised live on which provider —
205
+ including the forced audit that caught our own Modal adapter silently
206
+ failing before the fix.
207
+
208
+ ## Run it against real clouds
209
+
210
+ ```bash
211
+ pip install -e ".[providers]" # or a subset: .[runpod], .[modal], .[cerebrium]
212
+ mkdir -p config
213
+ cp src/gpuhedge/config/benchmark.example.yaml config/benchmark.yaml
214
+ # fill in your endpoint ids / app names, set deployed: true
215
+ gpuhedge login-check # verifies auth, spends nothing
216
+ gpuhedge plan # what the config encodes, incl. budget gates
217
+ gpuhedge bench --dry-run # inspect before spending
218
+ gpuhedge bench --go # Stage 2 paired cold-start rounds
219
+ gpuhedge cutover --go # one live state-aware request
220
+ ```
221
+
222
+ Nothing submits a GPU job without `--go`. A projected-cost ledger enforces
223
+ hard budget gates (`BudgetExceeded` halts submission), and `gpuhedge costs`
224
+ reconciles projections against provider-reported billing.
225
+
226
+ Deployment recipes for the benchmark model on all three providers are under
227
+ [`deploy/`](deploy/) — self-contained, with the provider gotchas we hit
228
+ documented in [`docs/provider-capabilities.md`](docs/provider-capabilities.md).

253
+ ## Status & caveats
254
+
255
+ - Benchmark data is one workload (TTS, ~5–7 s of audio), one region per
256
+ provider, collected across two days in 2026-07. Provider rankings move;
257
+ that is the argument *for* state-aware routing, not against it — treat any
258
+ single number as a snapshot.
259
+ - The Cerebrium adapter discovers run ids from the runs list (its async API
260
+ does not return usable handles): **benchmark-safe, not concurrency-safe**
261
+ — see [`docs/provider-capabilities.md`](docs/provider-capabilities.md).
262
+ - No p99s are quoted anywhere: n is tens, not thousands. Miss rates carry
263
+ Wilson 95% intervals.

+ ## Contributing
266
+
267
+ `make dev && make lint && make test`. CI runs Python 3.10–3.12 and a wheel
268
+ smoke test. Adapter contributions welcome — the contract is one class with
269
+ `submit / result / status / cancel` returning honest lifecycle events, plus
270
+ mock tests; see [`docs/adding-a-provider.md`](docs/adding-a-provider.md) and
271
+ [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).
