Nebius Group
Developer tool
Fully managed MLflow deployment on Nebius AI Cloud for tracking experiments, metrics and artifacts across the machine-learning lifecycle without maintaining tracking-server infrastructure.
Infrastructure service
Nebius-managed Kubernetes operator that runs Slurm clusters on GPU infrastructure for fault-tolerant large-scale AI training, with topology-aware scheduling and automatic node health checks and recovery.
Rented GPU clusters with storage and networking for training and serving models, billed by the GPU-hour.
Nebius AI Cloud's on-demand GPU runtime that runs containerised AI workloads as Jobs and hosts custom models behind HTTP Endpoints without provisioning or managing clusters.
Model API
Managed inference endpoint serving open-weight models on Nebius hardware, billed per token.
RunPod
Developer tool
A catalog of templates, models and open-source AI apps that can be forked and deployed onto Runpod Serverless in one click.
Infrastructure service
Per-hour GPU pods and per-hour serverless endpoints across both datacentre accelerators and consumer cards, sold on price — the company's own claim is compute up to 90% below traditional cloud providers.
Multi-node GPU environments with high-speed InfiniBand interconnect for distributed training and large batch workloads.
Autoscaling GPU API endpoints for AI inference, billed per second with scale-to-zero and sub-200ms cold starts.
Model API
Instant API access to pre-deployed third-party AI models for image, video, audio and text generation, billed per request or per token with no infrastructure setup.
No counterpart
RunPod sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Nebius Group yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
Brings customer-owned or rented GPU hardware under Runpod's console, CLI and APIs as a single control plane, with Runpod cloud used for overflow capacity.
