350,000+ builders love Lightning AI

Prototype 6× faster

"Instead of taking 36 hours to know if this model works, we knew by the end of the day."
Sam, ResearcherMIT Sustainable Design Lab

Experiment at lightning speed

"We validated our hypothesis in just 4 weeks for under $10k. It would've taken us at least 70% longer if we did not have the Lightning platform!"
Malcolm, co-founderOctAI

Debug together

"When it came time for our experts to collaborate on common experiments we ran into the “it works on my machine” problem. With Lightning, we saved hours per week."
Robin Cole, ResearcherEarthDaily Analytics

Change GPUs in seconds

"The experience of changing from CPU to GPU was mindblowing. It’s extremely quick and I didn’t even need to think about copying or mounting my files."
Irina, ML EngineerLightning User

No environment setup

"The environment management is so much better with Lightning AI; like an environment already provisioned for a workspace is a really good model."
Jacqueline, Sr. ML EngineerAeira
