SkyPilot builds a managed AI compute platform (SkyPilot Platform) atop its open source project to help organizations operate large-scale AI workloads across hyperscalers, neoclouds, Kubernetes clusters, and multiple accelerator types. The platform supports development, agentic workloads, training, reinforcement learning, inference, evaluations, and multi-cluster production serving while offering fleet-wide GPU health monitoring, automated remediation, team and quota management, single sign-on, and SOC 2 compliance. The SkyPilot open source project has surpassed 14 million downloads and attracted over 280 contributors, and the company says hundreds of organizations use the project. Private preview customers have used the platform to manage over 10,000 GPUs and support more than 200 researchers per organization, with some reporting up to 20x performance improvements versus the open source tooling. SkyPilot was founded by Berkeley researchers Zongheng Yang, Zhanghao Wu, and Romil Bhardwaj alongside Ion Stoica and Scott Shenker, and the company launched from stealth alongside its $20M seed raise to fund product, engineering, and go-to-market expansion.
