SIE: Unified Serving for Agent Models

·2026.08.12 12:30

Key point

SIE unifies serving of embeddings, reranking, OCR, and LLMs through a single OpenAI-compatible API.

Details

Superlinked's SIE (Superlinked Inference Engine) integrates embeddings, search & reranking, document OCR & conversion, structured output, content safety classification, and LLM agent loops into a single self-hosted inference engine.

  • Provides OpenAI-compatible APIs such as /v1/embeddings, /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, and /v1/responses.
  • Downloads and loads over 100 models on request, evicting unused models from memory using an LRU strategy.
  • Allows selecting various models per task, including bge-m3, splade-v3, qwen3-reranker, lightonocr, glm-ocr, paddleocr-vl, docling, and granite-guardian-2b.
  • Also includes a load-balancing gateway, KEDA autoscaling, Grafana dashboards, and Terraform modules for GKE, EKS, and AKS.

Operating multiple model types on a single cluster improves GPU memory utilization, but initial model loading incurs latency due to weight downloads. If high throughput for a single generative model is the goal, dedicated servers like vLLM or SGLang are more suitable.
