Core42
Infrastructure service
Single-tenant private cloud for governments and enterprises running classified or otherwise secret workloads, with sovereignty guarantees Core42 operates itself.
Full-stack sovereign AI cloud platform unifying multi-accelerator compute (NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, Cerebras, Microsoft) across 86K+ GPUs in sovereign data centers, AI-optimized storage, Kubernetes/SLURM orchestration, and Core42 Compass inference, for training, fine-tuning and production AI workloads.
Public cloud built on Azure but operated under UAE data-sovereignty and security controls, for public-sector and regulated workloads that cannot leave the country.
Lambda
Infrastructure service
Self-serve GPU clusters from 16 to 2,000+ NVIDIA B200 or H100 GPUs, provisioned without a sales cycle for training, fine-tuning and large inference runs.
On-demand NVIDIA instances for training, fine-tuning and serving — 1 to 8 GPUs launched in minutes with self-serve access — billed by the minute with no egress charge, alongside the 1-Click Clusters and liquid-cooled superclusters Lambda sells for larger runs.
Hourly NVIDIA GPU instances — H100, H200, B200 and A100 — launched in minutes with no egress fees.
Rents dedicated large-scale AI training and inference GPU clusters at supercomputer scale.
No counterpart
Core42 sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Lambda yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
API service
Unified inference layer within Core42 Sovereign AI Cloud: one API for 50+ models across 12 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, xAI, DeepSeek and others), with sovereign in-country deployment, guardrails, fine-tuning services and a Playground for prompt testing.
Lambda sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Core42 yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoints for open-weight models on Lambda's own GPU fleet, billed per token.
