You can use Salad to run containerized AI workloads and large-scale batch tasks across a global network of distributed GPUs. The service lets you deploy Docker containers onto idle consumer graphics cards or dedicated hardware at lower rates than traditional cloud providers. You can serve open-source language models through an OpenAI-compatible API, generate images with diffusion models, transcribe audio recordings, or run computer vision pipelines. When individual nodes go offline, the orchestration layer automatically reschedules your tasks to keep workloads running smoothly.
