What they do

Problem

AI labs waste significant time and money configuring cloud GPU infrastructure, handling distributed training issues, and optimizing kernels instead of focusing on research.

Solution

A managed Elastic Cloud that sources the cheapest GPUs across providers and handles preemption plus automatic kernel optimization to speed up training workloads.

Who it's for

AI researchers and machine learning engineering teams at AI labs running large-scale model training.
