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.
Low-cost cloud GPUs with per-minute instances and per-second sandboxes for AI workloads.
Launch RTX A6000, L40, A100 80GB, or H100 SXM machines, often ready to SSH into within minutes, and pay only while they run.
Spin up isolated Ubuntu VMs with or without a GPU for RL rollouts, evals, and CI, billed per second and scaled to zero between runs.
A CLI, VS Code extension, MCP server, and REST API let you drive infrastructure from a terminal, an editor, an AI agent, or your own services.
Save an instance disk as a snapshot and restore it later, so you can pause experiments without leaving machines running.
