# runai inference distributed

Runs multiple coordinated inference processes across multiple nodes. Required for models too large to run on a single node.

## Options

```
  -h, --help   help for distributed
```

## Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --config-file string   config file name; can be set by environment variable RUNAI_CLI_CONFIG_FILE (default "config.json")
      --config-path string   config path; can be set by environment variable RUNAI_CLI_CONFIG_PATH
  -d, --debug                enable debug mode
  -q, --quiet                enable quiet mode, suppress all output except error messages
