Beam Sandboxes fully support Docker and Docker Compose 🚢 Sandboxes are containerized cloud environments for running user code, reinforcement learning experiments, and evaluating LLMs. We launched Sandboxes earlier this year, and we kept getting the same question from

Speed of iteration is the single biggest factor to developer productivity. That’s why, 4 years ago, we decided to build Beam. Earlier this year, we partnered with https://t.co/LGpfiNb457. They needed a way to serve a document extraction API to customers. And they chose Beam —

80% faster cold starts with one click Just added a new checkpointing feature in your Beam dashboard: - Go to any deployment - Toggle "checkpoint enabled" - Watch cold starts drop up to 80% Works on models you've already deployed, no code changes needed. That's it. Your users

Just launched Memory Snapshots for Sandboxes 📷 Memory snapshots let you freeze any Sandbox state: - Run sandbox.snapshot_memory() on your running Sandbox - Capture memory state as immutable artifact - You can spin up identical environments instantly from that snapshot It's

Most RAG apps fail due to retrieval. Today, we'll build a RAG system that self-corrects inaccurate retrievals using: - @firecrawl_dev for scraping - @milvusio as vectorDB - @beam_cloud for deployment - @Cometml Opik for observability - @Llama_Index for orchestration Let's go!

Prototyping on GPUs sucks. You spend hours spinning up instances, waiting for images to build, deploying APIs, then tearing it all down. We've used AWS, GCP, and Lambda Labs. None made it easy to quickly run code on a GPU. Here's what finally fixed it.

Really love what they are building at @beam_cloud. Cold boots are 80% faster!
Beam's cold boots are now 80% faster, thanks to GPU checkpoint restore. We save a snapshot of GPU memory after your model is loaded, so model weights don’t need to be reloaded on each cold boot. No other cloud provider can boot custom models onto GPUs this quickly.

Moved my #rpg #gamemaster #ai to use @beam_cloud , got a nice performance boost for the replies. Including cold starts, we end up below 1 minute in all cases so far. Just need to improve on the ui and finetune the model further. Looking for people to help with stories for the 2nd

Import any model from @huggingface or @HelloCivitai. Run it in the cloud in seconds. No setup. No config. Just one import. Shouldn’t be this easy, but it is!
