# SkyPilot

An AI compute orchestration platform that lets teams run the full AI lifecycle across Kubernetes, Slurm, VMs, and 20+ clouds from one interface.

**Route:** surfaced by the AI Development and Deployment Infrastructure lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells AI compute orchestration to the same AI/ML engineering teams that would shortlist Vercel for deploying and scaling AI-powered apps and agentic workloads — both platforms manage infrastructure for AI workloads, but SkyPilot focuses on compute orchestration across heterogeneous clusters while Vercel focuses on frontend-to-cloud deployment.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Turn your fragmented compute into frontier intelligence

> Bring all AI compute (Kubernetes, Slurm, VMs, on-prem), and run the entire AI lifecycle — with frontier-level velocity.

> Manage any cluster, any cloud, any Kubernetes, or Slurm—under one interface.
