# AI Infrastructure for Researchers

Clanker Cloud helps frontier labs and AI research teams deploy, train, and run their own systems with preferred providers, local-first credentials, runtime inspection, and visible GPU and cloud spend.

## Best fit

- Frontier labs and applied AI research teams.
- Teams that want preferred-provider control instead of managed platform lock-in.
- Research workflows that need bring-up, runtime context, and spend visibility in one surface.

## What it adds

- Stand up research infrastructure on the providers your team already trusts.
- Inspect runtime state and topology while workloads are still running.
- Keep GPU, cloud, and model spend visible during iteration.
- Extend the workflow with local Node.js or Python agents.
