# Lightning AI

> AI cloud platform for training, running, and serving models with pay-per-token APIs, managed GPU infrastructure, and collaborative cloud workspaces.

Lightning AI provides an AI-first cloud and toolset for training, batch processing, and serving models at scale. It offers pay-per-token APIs and a free monthly token allowance, managed inference and training clusters, and on-demand GPU resources with fractional, pay-as-you-go billing. The platform includes collaborative, persistent notebooks and templates to accelerate building and shipping AI applications.

- **Pay-per-token API** — Call models through a pay-per-token API and use the included free monthly token allowance to get started quickly.
- **Free token allowance** — 30M free tokens per month available to start experimenting without immediate cost.
- **Batch jobs on GPUs** — Run batch workloads on large-scale GPU infrastructure with fractional, usage-based pricing.
- **Managed inference and serving** — Deploy and serve custom models with managed or self-managed options.
- **On-demand GPU clusters** — Provision ephemeral or reserved GPU clusters with Kubernetes and high-performance networking.
- **AI Studio and notebooks** — Build in persistent, collaborative cloud workspaces with prebuilt templates.

Get started by creating an account, using the free token allowance to test API calls, and launching AI Studio notebooks or GPU workloads as needed.
