SharpInference.Server

ASP.NET Core endpoints, options, and DI extensions that expose SharpInference as a drop-in OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible HTTP API. Bring your own host (Kestrel, IIS, YARP, …); this package only ships the routes, request/response shapes, and DI wiring.

For the bare inference library, use SharpInference. For the standalone CLI, use SharpInference.Cli.

Install

dotnet add package SharpInference.Server

This transitively pulls in SharpInference (the bundled inference engine + CPU/Vulkan/CUDA backends). You must be on the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web SDK — the package's Microsoft.AspNetCore.App framework reference is propagated.

Quick start

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddSharpInference(opt =>
{
    opt.ModelPath = "models/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf";
    opt.GpuLayers = -1; // -1 = all layers on GPU; 0 = pure CPU
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.MapSharpInference();
app.Run();

Bind from configuration instead:

// appsettings.json: { "SharpInference": { "ModelPath": "...", "GpuLayers": -1 } }
builder.Services.AddSharpInference(builder.Configuration);

What you get

Endpoint Wire-compatible with
POST /v1/chat/completions OpenAI Chat Completions
POST /v1/completions OpenAI Completions
POST /v1/messages Anthropic Messages
POST /v1/responses OpenAI Responses
GET /v1/models OpenAI Models
GET /health, /metrics Liveness + Prometheus

Streaming (SSE) is enabled for every chat/completion endpoint, and the JSON pipeline is wired through a source-generated JsonSerializerContext so the package is AOT-friendly even though the project itself is not AOT-published.

Configuration

SharpInferenceServerOptions is the single options record (Options pattern, validated on first request):

public sealed class SharpInferenceServerOptions
{
    public string  ModelPath      { get; set; } = "";
    public int     GpuLayers      { get; set; }       // -1 = all, 0 = CPU-only
    public int     MaxContext     { get; set; } = 4096;
    public string? Architecture   { get; set; }       // override GGUF detection
    public Func<IServiceProvider, LoadedEngine>? EngineFactory { get; set; } // tests
    // …
}

Override EngineFactory in tests to inject a fake IInferenceEngine; the rest of the DI graph (chat-template renderer, metrics, JSON context) stays intact.
