Decart
Infrastructure service
The Decart Optimization Stack (DOS) is Decart's inference and training optimization infrastructure, spanning hardware-aware model design, kernel tooling, proprietary compilers and inference optimization. It is sold to hardware providers and AI teams as engagements covering benchmark optimization, customer-defined kernel and compiler work, cross-workload efficiency gains, and profiler and simulator licensing, and is marketed as hardware-agnostic across GPUs, TPUs, Trainium and AMD accelerators.
Model API
Cogito is Decart's OpenAI-compatible LLM inference API, serving frontier open-weight models including Kimi K2.6, Kimi K2.7 Code, GLM-5.2, Qwen3 235B and GPT-OSS 120B across Trainium, TPU and GPU capacity. A self-serve Standard tier is billed per token, while an ultra-fast reserved tier advertises 1,000+ tokens per second. It is built on Decart's own DOS optimization stack.
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.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoints for open-weight models on Lambda's own GPU fleet, billed per token.
No counterpart
Decart sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Lambda yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Application
Delulu is Decart's consumer mobile app for AI photo transformation, published on iOS and Android by Decart.AI, Inc. Its store listing describes it as a way to 'Turn any photo into something fun, weird, or just really good-looking, with a single tap', browsing preset styles and creating stickers to share.
Real-time video editing platform that edits and transforms live video at streaming speed, for enterprises, brands, creators and live/streaming/gaming use cases; built on Decart's DOS infrastructure.
API service
Interactive world model for Physical AI, generating realistic, controllable real-time simulation environments for training autonomous systems, distributed as an API/SDK product built on Decart's Optimization Stack (DOS) infrastructure.
