What it does
SkyPilot helps AI teams run their work, such as training or serving models, on whatever computing power they have: their own GPU servers, Kubernetes or Slurm clusters, or more than 20 cloud providers.
You describe the job and the hardware it needs, and SkyPilot finds available machines, starts them, runs the job and can recover it if something fails. It can also shut down idle machines automatically to save money.
Everything runs inside your own cloud accounts and clusters.
Who it's for
AI and infrastructure teams who manage GPU computing across clouds and clusters.
