Our containerized AI artifacts are OCI compatible allowing you to directly use them with docker, podman and kubernetes wherever you need them: whether the cloud, a datacenter, or your basement. Our artifacts are regularly rebuilt, updated, and scanned for vulnerabilities to provide, the smallest, fastest, and most secure runtime possible.
You can find comparisons between different images on the comparisons page of each image (e.g. for llama.cpp’s cuda and cpu) runtimes.
