GPU Containers

  • GPU containers of popular Intel, Nvidia and AMD GPUs
  • Powers Jan’s CI/CD pipelines for compilation and cross-platform testing

Inference Workloads

  • (Coming soon) Menlo Cloud will support Jan’s Cloud LLM APIs
  • Build up to support 24/7 inference workloads

Hardware

GPU Server

Menlo Cloud uses custom-built GPU Servers that use commodity workstation motherboards and GPUs, that are optimized for cost efficiency and easy maintenance.

GPU Server

We designed the GPU for easy maintainability and upgradeability in datacenter environments.

GPU Workstations

We currently build GPU Workstations based on Nvidia’s RTX Pro series for our team. We may offer it for sale to the public in the future.

History

Menlo has always run its own infrastructure. We started out small:

  • Started with two 4090s run in our founder’s spare bedroom
  • Multiple machines running in our Infra Lead’s spare bedroom

Over time, Menlo Cloud has become a internal cloud running in a datacenter, with strong uptime and reliability guarantees.
