The Nscale Lightning AI Studio will be a unified platform that covers the entire generative AI workflow, from model prototyping to large-scale training and inference on supercomputer-grade infrastructure.

The partnership combines Nscale’s high-performance infrastructure, offering on-demand access to thousands of Blackwell GPUs, topology-aware Slurm scheduling, Kubernetes orchestration, and serverless inference with Lightning AI’s enterprise-grade, modular AI development platform, delivering a production-ready environment for enterprise.

By integrating Lightning AI’s intuitive, cloud-based AI development environment with Nscale’s high-performance infrastructure, powered by next-generation Blackwell GPUs, this AI Studio will give organisations:

-- Access to thousands of high performance on-demand GPUs, including 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs in the UK

-- A fully integrated end-to-end AI platform experience, leveraging modular MLOps tools within a secure, enterprise-ready AI cloud

-- The ability to rapidly move from prototype to production and deploy scalable, low-latency inference workloads effortlessly

For developers, this partnership means faster iteration, simplified deployment, and smooth scalability. For enterprise customers, it offers a fully integrated AI development experience that combines:

Speed: Rapid prototyping in Lightning AI’s collaborative development environment

Performance: Access to Nscale’s optimised GPU clusters for large-scale training

Flexibility: Auto-scaling serverless inference with real-time observability

Security: Enterprise-grade safeguards across the entire AI pipeline

“Our collaboration with Lightning AI bridges a critical market gap, delivering a platform that’s accessible, powerful, and purpose-built for enterprise generative AI,” said Daniel Bathurst, CPO at Nscale. “By bringing together Lightning AI’s intuitive, cloud-based AI development environment, Nscale’s high-performance infrastructure and the high calibre engineering capabilities across both teams, we can offer enterprises faster iteration, simplified deployment, and secure scalability.”

‍“Lightning and Nscale gives our customers the best of both worlds — the world’s best GPUs and cloud infrastructure, with thousands of B200 GPUs, paired with the world’s most advanced end-to-end ML platform, loved by millions and used at some of the largest Fortune 500 companies today,” said Will Falcon, Founder and CEO of Lightning AI.
