Hugging Face
Infrastructure service
Pay-as-you-go compute for running AI training, fine-tuning, synthetic data generation and batch inference jobs on Hugging Face's own CPU/GPU/TPU infrastructure via CLI or Python API.
Deploys a model from the Hub to a dedicated managed endpoint, billed by the hour.
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.
