NVIDIA has introduced the DGX Cloud Lepton, an AI platform designed to connect developers with NVIDIA's global compute ecosystem. The platform serves as a compute marketplace, offering access to tens of thousands of GPUs through a network of cloud providers worldwide.
Several NVIDIA Cloud Partners (NCPs) such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, Firmus, Foxconn, GMI Cloud, Lambda, Nebius, Nscale, Softbank Corp., and Yotta Data Services will provide NVIDIA Blackwell and other architecture GPUs on the DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace. This allows developers to utilize GPU compute capacity regionally for both immediate and long-term needs while supporting strategic AI operations.
"NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton connects our network of global GPU cloud providers with AI developers," stated Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Together with our NCPs, we’re building a planetary-scale AI factory."
The platform aims to resolve the challenge of securing reliable GPU resources by providing unified access to cloud AI services across the NVIDIA ecosystem. It integrates with NVIDIA’s software stack—NVIDIA NIM and NeMo microservices, Blueprints, and Cloud Functions—to streamline AI application development and deployment.
For cloud providers, DGX Cloud Lepton offers management software that includes real-time GPU health diagnostics and automated root-cause analysis to minimize manual tasks and downtime.
Key benefits include improved productivity and flexibility through a unified experience in development processes; frictionless deployment across various environments; agility in accessing regional GPU resources; and predictable performance ensuring enterprise-grade reliability.
In addition to this launch, NVIDIA announced Exemplar Clouds to assist NCPs in enhancing security and performance using its expertise in hardware and software tools. Yotta Data Services is the first participant from the Asia-Pacific region in this initiative.
Developers interested in early access can sign up for NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton. Further details are available at NVIDIA GTC Taipei where the COMPUTEX keynote by Jensen Huang can be viewed.
