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.

One API for 400K+ AI models, plus serverless and reserved GPUs on modular data centers
Image, video, audio, LLM and 3D tasks all POST to a single endpoint as an array, so mixed-modality batches can travel in one request with shared auth and billing.
Browse hosted, partner and community models through one addressing scheme, control parameters such as stacked LoRAs and swapped VAEs on open models, and add your own uploads.
Bring your own container and weights to serverless GPUs billed by the second that scale to zero when idle, or commit to reserved capacity and bare-metal clusters for a lower per-hour rate.
Purpose-built modular data centers plus an orchestration layer that keeps weights preloaded across regions and routes requests to pods that already hold the model in memory.
