As AI applications become more prevalent, one of the biggest challenges is efficiently and cost effectively deploying your AI solution.  For some it is as simple as following whatever pricing model a backend API SaaS from Google or OpenAI charges.  But for others who are looking to deploy their own solutions, this can be challenging.  By leveraging inefficiencies in the cloud compute market, NodeShift is making compute resources accessible to a wider range of businesses.
