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.
Elastic, MySQL-compatible distributed SQL with HTAP analytics built in
Storage and compute scale up or down in seconds without downtime or manual sharding, letting applications handle spikes and growth while paying for the capacity they use.
TiDB Cloud meets SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, PCI DSS, GDPR and HIPAA standards, with encryption and access controls suitable for regulated workloads.
Distributed transactions and multi-replica Raft consensus keep the database available through node and zone failures, and clusters can span availability zones or regions for disaster recovery.
One engine handles transactional and analytical queries, so you can run real-time reporting and analytics directly on live operational data instead of maintaining a separate warehouse pipeline.
