Lightning AI exposes an API for programmatic control of workflows and compute resources. The platform supports self-hosting and bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) configurations with VPC isolation. GPU compute is billed pay-as-you-go by the second — for example, H200 instances start at $4.50/GPU/hr. Cloud integrations are available for AWS, GCP, Lambda, Nebius, NScale, AWS Marketplace, and S3. The platform covers the full ML stack: build, train, optimize, evaluate, and deploy. Compliance certifications include SOC2, HIPAA, and GDPR. Pricing tiers: Free (up to 80 GPU hours / 30 credits), Pro ($20/month billed annually or $50/month), Teams ($119/user/month billed annually or $140/user/month), and Enterprise (custom).
