Beam Cloud
Serverless cloud platform for AI workloads. Deploy ML models, run data pipelines, and scale GPU workloads effortlessly.
What is Beam Cloud?
Serverless Cloud for AI Workloads
Beam Cloud is a serverless cloud platform purpose-built for AI and machine learning workloads. It allows developers to deploy ML models, run data pipelines, and scale GPU compute effortlessly using a Python-first SDK that abstracts away all infrastructure complexity. Beam makes it possible for ML engineers and data scientists to ship production AI workloads without becoming cloud infrastructure experts.
Developer-Focused AI Infrastructure
Beam's SDK allows developers to define compute requirements — GPU type, memory, dependencies — directly in Python code. Functions decorated with Beam run on the appropriate cloud hardware automatically. The platform supports scheduled jobs, REST endpoints, task queues, and real-time streaming workloads, making it suitable for a wide range of ML production scenarios beyond just simple inference endpoints.
- Python-first SDK for deploying ML models and data pipelines
- GPU compute with NVIDIA A100, A10G, and T4 support
- Multiple deployment types: REST APIs, scheduled jobs, task queues
- Automatic dependency management and container builds
Key Features
Define all infrastructure requirements directly in Python — no YAML or Terraform.
Access NVIDIA A100, A10G, and T4 GPUs for training and inference workloads.
Deploy model inference as scalable REST API endpoints with one decorator.
Run batch ML jobs and data pipelines on defined schedules.
Async task queue support for long-running GPU workloads at scale.
Who Uses Beam Cloud?
Deploy ML models as REST APIs without managing GPU cloud infrastructure.
Run GPU-accelerated data processing pipelines on a serverless schedule.
Run training jobs on cloud GPUs without setting up training clusters.
Quickly experiment with GPU workloads without infrastructure overhead.
