Products, side by side

Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked

Lambda

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.

SenseTime

Infrastructure service

Elastic Compute ServiceInfrastructure service

Rentable accelerated compute instances for AI development and inference on SenseCore.

Elastic Container PlatformInfrastructure service

Managed Kubernetes platform for running AI workloads on SenseCore.

SenseCoreInfrastructure service

SenseTime's AI compute service, providing training and inference capacity on its own data centres.

SenseScale SSPInfrastructure service

Manages heterogeneous AI development, training and inference compute across SenseCore's infrastructure.

Model API

SenseNovaModel API

SenseTime's foundation model family and the API platform that serves it.

No counterpart

SenseTime sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Lambda yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

CapiApplication

SenseTime's AI-powered personal-finance assistant (the audit's candidate name 'Kapi Money' is a mistranscription of the real product, Capi, which the vendor's own announcement distinguishes from the similarly-named Kapi/Kapi Cam camera app).

Kapi CamApplication

AI-powered retro-style (Y2K/CCD) photo and video camera app, distinct from Capi (SenseTime's finance assistant) despite the similar name.

Kapi HealthApplication

AI-powered health-tracking companion app (sleep, HRV, activity strain and recovery) built on Apple HealthKit data, from the same publisher shell (TETRAS.AI HONGKONG CO., LIMITED) as the existing Kapi Cam and Kapi Money records.

Office Raccoon (RaccoonWork)Application

AI office productivity assistant (data analysis, AI-editable PPT generation, task planning) built on SenseTime's large language model, distributed via web, iOS app and an OpenClaw agent-skill integration.

Seko AgentApplication

AI video generation tool for creating and editing consistent multi-episode video series.

SenseAvatarApplication

Creates digital-human videos and livestreams from a source image/script.

Platform

SenseFoundryPlatform

Computer-vision platform for city and enterprise deployments, covering video analysis, access control and traffic management.

Hardware

SenseMart GOHardware

Computer-vision-based automated retail checkout system.

SenseNebula PassHardware

Facial-recognition physical access-control system.

Robot

SenseRobotRobot

AI-powered chess (and board game) robot that teaches and plays against a human opponent, sold as a consumer hardware product on its own dedicated domain.
