# Lilypad Home Lilypad is powering democratic participation in the AI Innovation Economy by pioneering new avenues for anyone to deploy, distribute and monetize AI models. As a **full-stack, modular AI services platform**, Lilypad provides: * A **model marketplace** for publishing and monetizing AI workloads * **MLOps tooling** for managing and scaling AI pipelines * A **distributed, on-demand GPU network** for high-performance inference across agent workflows, ML research and DeSci applications Lilypad acts as a: * **Demand engine** for decentralized compute and storage * **Distribution layer** for training networks and agentic frameworks * **Bridge across data, compute and AI ecosystems**, enabling straightforward integration ## Real-World Impact In partnership with Dell, Dr. Michael Levin, and Amelie Schroder (Hugging Face's top bioML creator), Lilypad powered a protein folding AI model that discovered a novel heart medication, now progressing through wet-lab validation. We are now working with Dell to build a permissioned, licensable version of the Lilypad Network for enterprise AI adoption. ## Run AI Workloads Lilypad makes it easy to run **containerized AI models** across a global, decentralized GPU network with no infrastructure setup required. Whether you're working with image generation models like Stable Diffusion and SDXL, text-to-video models, LLMs, or custom AI workloads, Lilypad provides the compute layer to scale inference on demand. You can: * **Deploy models as Lilypad Job Modules** using standard Docker containers * **Trigger jobs via our CLI or inference API**, with full support for passing inputs and capturing outputs * **Integrate into ML pipelines or agent workflows**, using Lilypad as a backend for large-scale AI tasks * **Leverage the modular architecture** to compose your own workflows, fine-tune models, or chain outputs across models If you're building an app, automating research, or experimenting with new architectures — Lilypad gives you a permissionless, cost-efficient path to run your AI anywhere. ## Provide Compute Join the Lilypad Network as a **Resource Provider** and earn rewards by contributing your **idle GPU or CPU power** to run real AI jobs. Whether you're a solo builder with a gaming rig or an organization managing fleets of GPUs, Lilypad lets you monetize underused compute by connecting directly to demand from developers, researchers and decentralized applications. As a Resource Provider, you’ll: * **Run containerized workloads** from users across the network * **Earn rewards** for completed jobs * **Retain full control** over your hardware with no lock-in or custodial overhead * **Support open innovation** by enabling inference for DeSci, agent frameworks, AI art tools, and more Lilypad’s compute layer is **permissionless**, **modular**, and designed to scale. We support **consumer GPUs**, **data center hardware**, and **containerized environments** — including Linux hosts and Docker-native setups. ## Get Started Today!
