Runpod

RunPod is a GPU cloud marketplace that gives AI developers and researchers on-demand access to Nvidia GPU clusters for training models, running inference, and building AI applications — at prices significantly lower than hyperscaler rates. It operates a network of GPU pods from data centers globally and provides tooling for deploying serverless endpoints, managing containers, and scaling AI workloads. RunPod is popular with researchers, individual developers, and startups that need GPU access without committing to long-term cloud contracts. It has grown rapidly as demand for affordable GPU compute has surged alongside the generative AI boom.
