Beam
AI infrastructure for developers with ultrafast boot times and autoscaling

Beam is an open-source cloud platform that enables developers to run serverless workloads on CPUs and GPUs, deploy Docker images as REST APIs, and securely execute LLM-generated code in sandboxes. It supports task queues, scheduled jobs, and long-running functions with automatic scaling to thousands of containers. Users are billed by the millisecond of compute usage.
Beam lets you launch containers in under one second, deploy any Docker image as a REST API, and automatically scale jobs to thousands of containers while charging only for actual compute time used.
