SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires lambda-cloud-client>=1.0.0, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Lambda Labs GPU Cloud removes the friction of provisioning dedicated GPU infrastructure for ML training and inference by giving you quick access to on-demand instances, SSH access, and persistent storage for repeatable experiments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dedicated GPU instances with SSH: Provision single-GPU to large multi-GPU environments for hands-on development, training runs, and debugging.
  • Persistent filesystems: Keep datasets, checkpoints, models, and outputs across instance restarts so work doesn’t reset when machines change.
  • 1-Click Slurm clusters: Run large-scale, distributed jobs (16–512 GPUs) with a pre-installed distributed ML stack.
  • Use cases: Fine-tune and train large models, run batch inference, stage data once via persistent storage, and automate workflows via the provided API/client patterns.

Quick Start

Use the lambda-labs-gpu-cloud skill to launch a GPU instance by following the console flow, then connect via SSH to start training while saving checkpoints to a mounted filesystem for persistence.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I launch on-demand GPU instances for ML training and inference?

You can launch GPU instances for ML training and inference by using the skill to provision single- or multi-GPU environments through the console flow, authenticating via API key, and connecting via SSH to start running experiments.

How do I keep datasets and checkpoints across instance restarts on a GPU cloud?

To keep datasets and checkpoints across instance restarts on a GPU cloud, you mount persistent filesystems to your instances. This ensures your models, data, and outputs remain durable and do not reset when machines change.

Can I run distributed ML training on 16 to 512 GPUs using Lambda Labs?

Yes, you can run distributed ML training on 16 to 512 GPUs using Lambda Labs by deploying 1-Click Slurm clusters, which come pre-installed with a distributed ML stack for large-scale jobs.

Do I need an API key to automate GPU instance provisioning and termination?

Yes, you need an API key to automate GPU instance provisioning and termination. The skill uses the lambda-cloud-client and API automation patterns to authenticate, select GPU regions, and manage the instance lifecycle.

Does this skill support mounting filesystems for durable outputs during batch inference?

Yes, this skill supports mounting persistent filesystems for durable outputs during batch inference. You can stage data once via persistent storage and save inference results to ensure they persist across instance restarts.

What is the best way to automate workflows for repeatable ML experiments on Lambda Labs?

The best way to automate workflows for repeatable ML experiments on Lambda Labs is by using the provided API and client patterns to script instance launching, SSH access, and persistent storage mounting for checkpoints and outputs.
