Run AI on Any Infrastructure

SkyPilot is a system to run, manage, and scale AI workloads on any AI infrastructure.

SkyPilot gives AI teams a simple interface to run jobs on any infra. Infra teams get a unified control plane to manage any AI compute — with advanced scheduling, scaling, and orchestration.

Overview

SkyPilot is easy to use for AI teams:

• Quickly spin up compute on your own infra
• Environment and job as code — simple and portable
• Easy job management: queue, run, and auto-recover many jobs

SkyPilot makes Kubernetes easy for AI & Infra teams:

• Slurm-like ease of use, cloud-native robustness
• Local dev experience on K8s: SSH into pods, sync code, or connect IDE
• Turbocharge your clusters: gang scheduling, multi-cluster, and scaling

SkyPilot unifies multiple clusters, clouds, and hardware:

• One interface to use reserved GPUs, Kubernetes clusters, Slurm clusters, or 20+ clouds
• Flexible provisioning of GPUs, TPUs, CPUs, with auto-retry
• Team deployment and resource sharing

SkyPilot cuts your cloud costs & maximizes GPU availability:

• Autostop: automatic cleanup of idle resources
• Spot instance support: 3-6x cost savings, with preemption auto-recovery
• Intelligent scheduling: automatically run on the cheapest & most available infra

SkyPilot supports your existing GPU, TPU, and CPU workloads, with no code changes.

Install with pip:

# Choose your clouds:
pip install -U "skypilot[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,nebius,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp,seeweb,shadeform,verda]"

To get the latest features and fixes, use the nightly build or install from source:

# Choose your clouds:
pip install "skypilot-nightly[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,nebius,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp,seeweb,shadeform,verda]"

To use SkyPilot directly with your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), install the SkyPilot Skill. Tell your agent:
