Managed Ray platform for scaling AI workloads
Run Ray jobs, services, and libraries on managed infrastructure across thousands of nodes without operating the cluster yourself.
Orchestrate multi-GPU and multi-node training with elastic scaling, last-mile data preprocessing, and GPU observability built in.
Build pipelines that download, filter, and transform video, image, text, and audio data ahead of training.
Parallelize embedding generation and batch inference for search, retrieval, and downstream training workloads.

Distributed GPU cloud that orchestrates the world's idle consumer GPUs
Schedules, monitors and reallocates Docker/OCI workloads across thousands of distributed GPU nodes, with failover when nodes disappear.
On-demand access to a distributed pool of idle consumer GPUs across 190+ countries with priority pricing from about $0.015 per GPU-hour.
A managed token endpoint for open-weight models priced per token, with your data never used for training.
Run the same orchestration stack inside your organisation, pooling idle workstation GPUs into an internal OpenAI-compatible service.
