    Lightning AI

    Lightning AI

    Persistent GPU cloud workspaces to build, train, and ship AI.

    A cloud platform built around AI Studios — collaborative, persistent GPU workspaces for coding, training models, running inference, and building agents and AI apps. Pay-as-you-go GPUs with a monthly free credit allowance, plus a Pro tier and bring-your-own-cloud for enterprise. Made by the team behind the open-source PyTorch Lightning framework.

    Worth knowing

    Rebranded from Grid.ai in 2022 alongside a $40M Series B led by Coatue; founded by PyTorch Lightning creator William Falcon.

    Beam

    Beam

    On-demand serverless GPU compute for AI, from Python.

    A serverless cloud for deploying AI inference endpoints, agent sandboxes, task queues, and containerized GPU workloads with a few lines of Python. It handles fast cold starts, autoscaling, and Docker-in-Docker execution across multiple cloud backends, and supports bring-your-own-compute. The Developer tier is free with recurring monthly credit; paid tiers add team features and scale, billed pay-as-you-go by GPU usage.

    Worth knowing

    A YC-backed startup that began in 2021 as Slai before becoming Beam; its beta9 runtime is AGPL-3.0.

    SkyPilot

    SkyPilot

    Run AI and batch jobs on any cloud or Kubernetes, from one interface.

    An open-source framework for running, managing, and scaling AI and batch workloads across Kubernetes, Slurm, and 20+ cloud providers through a single unified interface. It abstracts away per-provider setup, optimizes for cost and GPU availability, and automatically fails over between regions and clouds when capacity is scarce. You run it yourself against your own infrastructure — the software is free and Apache-2.0 licensed; you pay only your own cloud bills.

    Worth knowing

    From UC Berkeley's Sky Computing Lab; brokers across 20+ clouds and Kubernetes, picking the cheapest GPUs and failing over on capacity loss.

    Nen Labs

    Open-source browser API for AI agents and apps.

    A batteries-included headless-browser sandbox that lets AI agents automate the web without managing browser infrastructure. Steel handles sessions, cookies, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and page-to-markdown/screenshot/PDF conversion behind a single API, built on Puppeteer and the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Run the open-source image locally via Docker or use Steel Cloud's managed browser fleet.

    Worth knowing

    Operated by Nen Labs, which has raised about $17M to date for its open-source browser infrastructure.

    Daytona

    Secure, elastic sandboxes for running AI-generated code.

    Infrastructure for executing AI-generated code in isolated sandboxes — each a full composable computer with a dedicated kernel, filesystem, network stack, and allocated CPU, RAM, and disk. Sandboxes start in under 90ms, snapshot for persistence, and are driven programmatically through SDKs (Python, TypeScript, Ruby, Go, Java), an API, and a CLI. AGPL-3.0 and available as a managed service, self-hosted stack, or hybrid where you bring your own compute.

    Worth knowing

    Pivoted from cloud dev-environments to agent sandboxes; raised a $24M Series A led by FirstMark in 2026.

    E2B

    E2B

    Secure cloud sandboxes for running AI-generated code.

    Open-source infrastructure that spins up isolated cloud sandboxes so AI agents can execute generated code safely. Python and JS/TS SDKs cover code interpretation, data analysis, and computer-use desktops, with per-second billing. Self-host or BYOC/on-prem is supported for enterprise.

    Worth knowing

    Prague-founded (2023); a $21M Series A led by Insight Partners in 2025, with most of the Fortune 100 signed up.

    Browserbase

    Browserbase

    Headless browser infrastructure for AI agents.

    Managed cloud fleet of headless browsers that let AI agents browse, authenticate, and act on the web at scale. Sessions ship with stealth proxies, automated CAPTCHA solving, and observability, driven via API or the open-source Stagehand framework. Usage-based billing on top of a monthly base plan.

    Worth knowing

    Founded by 3x founder Paul Klein IV in 2024; raised a $40M Series B at a ~$300M valuation in 2025.

    Postgres + auth + storage + edge functions, open source.

    A common default backend when an app needs persistence + auth + realtime. Open-source, self-hostable, very low friction to local dev with the CLI.

    Worth knowing

    A Y Combinator alum, it hit a $10.5B valuation in a 2026 raise as the vibe-coding boom made it a default AI app backend.

    Workers + R2 + D1 + Durable Objects. Global edge runtime.

    When the app needs to run close to users globally, or when an isolate-per-request model fits the workload better than Node functions. R2 for storage, D1 for SQLite-at-the-edge.

    Worth knowing

    Workers (2017) pioneered V8-isolate edge serverless, breaking from the container-per-function model AWS Lambda established.
