Key features	Serverless GPU inference with a 1-second cold start Support for StableDiffusionXL, ESRGAN, Whisper, and custom LLMs ReadWrite Volumes for persistent inference data Option to resell private model access to other organizations Reported 50-90% cost reduction over always-on GPU infrastructure	Routes repeatable tasks to smaller specialised models Edge-powered inference network for lower latency Measurement of cost and quality per routing decision Frontier models reserved for work that needs them Free tier for evaluating against real traffic
Pros	1-second cold start solves the main practical drawback of serverless GPU inference Low entry pricing ($0.2/hour) with significant reported cost savings Private model monetization option turns internal tools into revenue	Targets a real and large source of inference waste Improves cost and latency together rather than trading them Measurement-led rather than asserting blanket savings
Cons	Requires technical setup - built for developers, not a no-code end-user tool Cost savings depend heavily on actual usage patterns versus always-on alternatives Model support, while broad, doesn't cover every possible AI architecture	Benefit depends on how much of your traffic is genuinely routine Adds a routing layer that must itself be monitored
