Spice.ai Cloud, powered by Spice.ai OSS delivers a secure compute environment for AI applications and agents

With the Spice.ai Cloud Platform, powered by Spice.ai OSS, you can:

1. Query and accelerate data: Run high-performance SQL queries across multiple data sources with results optimized for AI applications and agents.
2. Use AI Models: Perform large language model (LLM) inference with major providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Grok for chat, completion, and generative AI workflows.
3. Collaborate on Spicepods: Share, fork, and manage datasets, models, embeddings, evals, and tools in a collaborative, community-driven hub indexed by spicerack.org.

Use-Cases

• Fast, virtualized data views: Build specialized “small data” warehouses to serve fast, virtualized views across large datasets for applications, APIs, dashboards, and analytics.
• Performance and reliability: Manage replicas of hot data, cache SQL queries and AI results, and load-balance AI services to improve resiliency and scalability.
• Production-grade AI workflows: Use Spice.ai Cloud as a data and AI proxy for secure, monitored, and compliant production environments, complete with advanced observability and performance management.

Take it for a spin by starting with the getting started guide.
