What can I do with SaladCloud?

The short answer is that anything that can be done in a containerized environment can run on the Salad Cloud. Users can create their own bespoke container group with their own image, hosted publicly or privately in a container registry. For users new to running a container environment, we offer pre-built containers with commonly used images for tasks like image generation or voice transcription. Additionally, users can opt into our managed services for Dreambooth and Transcription API. Finally, Salad Gateway allows users to route requests from VPN operators or others into a proxy service run through our distributed residential infrastructure on Salad nodes.

The Salad Container Engine - SCE

Create and manage custom container groups consisting of a container image, hardware requirements, and a replica count. Container images can be pulled from public, or private registries. Images are the responsibility of the user to manage, while Salad runs the group and maintains the desired replica count. Learn more about deploying and managing Container Groups, here.

Salad Recipes

Salad recipes are a great way to get started on Salad if you're looking to test the capabilities of our network. Simple and powerful, users can run some of the most popular AI models without worrying about managing underlying infrastructure. These pre-built containers come with all of the necessary settings and dependencies for models like Stable Diffusion XL. To learn more, take a look at our Recipe documentation.

Inference Endpoints - SIE

Salad SIE allows users to deploy AI/ML inference via API to scale without configuring infrastructure. Deploy instant Dreambooth or Transcription inference with a simple API call, at the lowest cost on the market. To learn more, check out our existing SIE products, here.

Salad Gateway Service - SGS

SGS is a proxy service that routes requests from VPN operators, or other customers who need distributed residential IP infrastructure, to Salad nodes. Salad Nodes are individually owned and operated desktop PCs whose owners have explicitly opted in to share their network bandwidth and local compute resources.
