# Backend.AI

An AI infrastructure operating system selling GPU orchestration and virtualization software for building, training, and serving AI models.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer evaluating Vercel's AI cloud platform could instead deploy Backend.AI on their own infrastructure to manage GPU workloads, making Vercel's managed AI deployment unnecessary.

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

> Backend.AI enables you to build, train, and serve AI models of any type any size, any scale.

> GPU orchestration &amp; virtualization

> From fractional GPU sharing to multi-node clusters with thousands of GPUs
