Lambda Labs
GPU cloud and on-premise AI infrastructure for ML teams.
Description
Lambda Labs (now branded Lambda) is an AI compute company founded in 2012 by twin brothers Stephen Balaban and Michael Balaban in San Jose, California. The company started as a facial recognition software business, built its own GPU infrastructure out of frustration with hyperscaler pricing, and eventually pivoted the infrastructure into its core product. Lambda now operates across the full AI compute stack: on-demand GPU cloud, 1-Click Clusters, Private Cloud deployments, on-premise GPU hardware, and Lambda Stack, a pre-configured AI software environment that runs on all of the above.
Key Capabilities:
On-demand GPU cloud with H100, H200, B200, GH200, and A100 instances
1-Click Clusters with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking and NVMe storage pools
Private Cloud dedicated GPU clusters in SOC 2 Type II-certified data centers
Lambda Bare Metal Instances for frontier AI workloads
Lambda Stack pre-configured AI environment with PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, and cuDNN on Ubuntu
Multi-GPU and multi-node configurations for distributed LLM training
On-premise GPU workstations, servers, and rack-scale systems including NVIDIA DGX SuperPod
Lambda Chat with free access to open-source models including DeepSeek and Llama
No egress fees on data transfers
Minute-level billing with volume discounts and reserved pricing options
REST API and CLI for full infrastructure automation
NVIDIA Vera CPU platform and Quantum-X800 InfiniBand CPO networking support
