Lambda Labs is a cloud GPU provider tailored for machine learning. Unlike AWS or Google Cloud (general-purpose), Lambda specializes in GPU instances and makes provisioning trivial: click "launch", SSH in, start training. It supports single-GPU experimentation ($0.30/hr) to multi-GPU clusters (8x A100 for parallel training). The platform provides managed Jupyter notebooks, persistent storage, and integration with popular ML frameworks. Users don't manage networking, VPCs, or subnets—just allocate GPUs and code.
