Infrastructure service

Lambda 1-Click ClustersInfrastructure 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.

Lambda CloudInfrastructure service

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.

Lambda On-Demand InstancesInfrastructure service

Hourly NVIDIA GPU instances — H100, H200, B200 and A100 — launched in minutes with no egress fees.

Lambda SuperclustersInfrastructure service

Rents dedicated large-scale AI training and inference GPU clusters at supercomputer scale.

Model API

Lambda InferenceModel API

Hosted inference endpoints for open-weight models on Lambda's own GPU fleet, billed per token.
