Once logged in to your Public Cloud project, you have access to three AI tools: - **AI Notebooks** - **AI Training** - **AI Deploy** Each of them is an autonomous tool and is billed per minute with per-second granularity, but they have shared elements, such as security tokens, etc. All AI Tools have access to OVHcloud Object Storage as a central point, allowing you to work with your data securely and easily. We structure our AI offers this way:   ## AI Tools comparison The tables below show the features and abilities of each of the three AI tools: - AI Notebooks: Managed Jupyter or VSCode notebook, linked to compute resources (CPU or GPU) and storage. - AI Training: Automate your training, deploy your own Docker container, linked to compute resources (CPU or GPU), and attached storage. - AI Deploy: Deploy your own AI application and models with high availability via Docker containers or select one from our catalog. **Note:** Please note that whatever other differences may be between them, all three tools are billed per minute with per-second granularity. | AI Features | AI Notebooks | AI Training | AI Deploy | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ----------- | --------- | | Managed Jupyter Notebook with preinstalled libraries | X |   |   | | Managed VSCode Notebook with preinstalled libraries | X |   |   | | Automate Training phases (timeout, grid computing, ...) |   | X |   | | Bring your own Docker image (with notebooks inside, models, etc.) and connect to compute and storage resources |   | X | X | | Deploy your managed applications and models with high-availability |   |   | X | | Deploy AI applications from a catalog made with partners |   |   | X | | Management | AI Notebooks | AI Training | AI Deploy | | ------------- | ------------ | ----------- | --------- | | Control panel | X | X | X | | API | X | X | X | | CLI | X | X | X | | Resources | AI Notebooks | AI Training | AI Deploy | | ------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------- | --------------------------- | | CPU resources | X | X | X | | CPU flavors available | ai1-1-CPU | ai1-1-CPU | ai1-1-CPU | | GPU resources | X | X | X | | GPU flavors available | L4-1-GPUL40s-1-GPU | L4-1-GPUL40s-1-GPU | L4-1-GPUL40s-1-GPU | | RAM Memory | X | X | X | | Dask computing |   | X |   | | Cold-patch resources (adjust GPU/CPU, attached storage) | X |   |   | | Local SSD-NVMe storage | X | X | X | | Local SSD-NVMe storage size | depends on selected flavors | depends on selected flavors | depends on selected flavors | | Ability to attach a remote storage (Object Storage) | X | X | X | | Pull Storage Sync (from object storage) | X | X | X | | Push Storage sync (to object storage) | X | X |   | | Maximum runtime | unlimited | unlimited | unlimited | | Ability to add a runtime timeout (via CLI) |   | X |   | | Security | AI Notebooks | AI Training | AI Deploy | | ---------------------- | ------------ | ----------- | --------------------- | | ACL via Openstack user | X | X | X | | ACL via tokens | X | X | X | | Backups and resiliency |   |   |   | | Automatic backup |   |   |   | | Backup when you stop | X |   |   | | High availability |   |   | X (when replicas > 1) | | Auto scaling |   |   | Planned | | Advanced features and parameters | AI Notebooks | AI Training | AI Deploy | | ------------------------------------- | ------------ | ----------- | --------- | | Labels | X | X | X | | Start / Stop / Resume | X |   | X | | Easily import data from Git/\* via UI | X |   |   | | Unchanging endpoint URL |   |   | X |   ## Go further Browse all the [AI & Machine Learning guides](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/ai-machine-learning/landing-page-ai-machine-learning.md).
