Ultra-fast AI inference on the LPU and LPX platform
Custom accelerators designed specifically for inference rather than training, tuned for very low latency.
Hosted access to popular open models including Llama, Mixtral, Gemma, and Whisper speech models.
An API broadly compatible with common OpenAI-style request formats for quick integration.
Automatic speech recognition with Whisper plus text-to-speech capabilities for voice applications.
The AI cloud built by the creators of PyTorch Lightning
Spin up single GPUs, full nodes or reserved clusters by the second, selectable from T4 and L4 up to A100, H100, H200, B200 and TPUs, with no long-term contract required.
Ready-to-code environments with CUDA, PyTorch and common libraries preinstalled, usable from the browser, a local IDE or a terminal, with automatic sleep to stop idle spend.
Launch distributed training jobs and large-scale data preparation across multi-node GPU and high-CPU machines, with interruptible instances at up to about 80% off.
Turn a checkpoint into an endpoint or app without rewriting infrastructure code, and host public app links or private model APIs with configurable rate limits.
