Lambda GPU Cloud

Documentation for Lambda GPU Cloud, the #1 cloud provider for high-performance GPUs

Lambda GPU Cloud provides instant access to high-performance cloud GPUs at the best prices on the market.

Note

On January 1, 2024, the prices of certain instance types will be increasing. These increases will apply to both newly launched instances and instances already running. These price increases will help us add more GPUs throughout 2024 to address availability concerns from the community.

Note

Beginning December 13, 2023, new Lambda GPU Cloud instances will launch with Ubuntu 22.04 instead of Ubuntu 20.04. Currently running instances won’t be affected by this change.

Significantly, Ubuntu 22.04 includes Python 3.10, while Ubuntu 20.04 includes Python 3.8.

See the release notes to learn more about the changes introduced in Ubuntu 22.04.
