A platform for running and deploying machine learning models in the cloud via API, with a large library of community-contributed models.
Why it is useful
Removes the need to provision GPUs or write deployment code to run open-source AI models — you call an API and get results. The model library covers everything from image generation to audio transcription to video processing. Pay-per-second pricing makes it accessible for experimentation without idle infrastructure costs.
