BYOC training control plane · Elastic GPU capacity

Reliable AI training
across any GPU cloud.

Bring your own cloud, GPU contracts, reserved instances, or credits. VaultLayer adds the training control plane on top — orchestration, checkpointing, monitoring, and recovery — with external GPU capacity available when you need extra supply.

Why VaultLayer
BYOC reliability for teams with committed GPU capacity.
Funded AI teams often already have cloud credits, reserved instances, or GPU contracts. VaultLayer turns that compute into a managed training platform, then adds external GPU capacity when your own fleet is constrained.
💸

Run on your own compute first

Run on your own cloud account, reserved instances, credits, or contracted GPU nodes while VaultLayer handles the training reliability layer.

🛡️

Recovers failed training

When a GPU is reclaimed, crashes, or becomes unhealthy, VaultLayer detects the failure and resumes from the last checkpoint on available compute.

🧩

Automates training operations

We handle provisioning, monitoring, checkpoint sync, and resume logic so ML engineers stay on model work instead of maintaining DevOps glue.


How it works
Connect your cloud. Run the job. Recover automatically.
BYOC teams connect their cloud or GPU fleet first. External GPU capacity uses the same CLI and becomes the overflow path when you need supply beyond your own fleet.
# one-time setup
pip install vaultlayer && vaultlayer init

# run any training script — that's it
vl run python train.py

Submit your script

Wraps any PyTorch / JAX / HuggingFace training script unchanged.

Default to BYOC

Route jobs to connected cloud, reserved, or contracted GPUs in your environment.

Add capacity when needed

Use external GPU capacity for overflow, experiments, or urgent jobs when your own fleet is full.

Recover automatically

VaultLayer checkpoints, monitors, and resumes failed jobs from the last saved state.


The difference
With VaultLayer vs. without.

Ad hoc GPU ops

  • Teams split work across provider portals, cloud accounts, scripts, and manual runbooks.
  • A reclaimed, unhealthy, or crashed GPU can kill hours of training progress.
  • Engineers monitor jobs, restart runs, and chase capacity instead of improving models.
  • You write and maintain your own checkpoint sync, health checks, and recovery logic.
💸 What you actually pay for: idle engineer time, re-runs after failure, and custom infra glue around every training workflow.

With VaultLayer

  • BYOC-first control plane for your cloud, credits, reserved instances, and GPU contracts.
  • Auto-resume from the last checkpoint when hardware or provider capacity fails.
  • Add elastic GPU capacity only when you need supply beyond your own fleet.
  • Wrap existing training scripts with no framework migration or new SDK.
💸 Make committed GPU capacity reliable: VaultLayer runs on top of your BYOC capacity first, then adds external GPU capacity as the overflow path.

From an early user
"The babysitting tax. Renting H100s directly from RunPod / Lambda / Voltage Park, I'd lose 20–30 minutes per session to wrapper work around the actual training: hunting for a region with capacity, paying for idle minutes while the pod boots and the image pulls, wiring my own checkpoint sync to S3/R2 so a provider interruption wouldn't wipe out an hour of progress, and writing fragile resume logic because providers just hand you a fresh pod after a crash. … The fine-tune finished cleanly — adapter saved, no leftover pod to clean up, no manual sync, no babysitting."

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What happens if a GPU dies mid-run?

VaultLayer detects it and your training resumes from where it left off — on your connected BYOC compute first, or external GPU capacity when that path is configured. No lost progress, no restart from scratch.

Do I have to change my training code?

No SDK, no decorators, no framework to adopt. vl run python train.py wraps the command you already use — your PyTorch / JAX / Hugging Face script runs unchanged.

Can I bring my own cloud or GPU contract?

Yes. BYOC is part of VaultLayer: you keep your compute relationship, pricing, and cloud account, while VaultLayer adds the training control plane on top — job orchestration, checkpointing, monitoring, and recovery.

Do I have to use external GPUs?

No. VaultLayer is BYOC-first for teams with cloud credits, reserved instances, or GPU contracts. Elastic GPU capacity is available when you need supply quickly.

Can I pick the GPU, or is it automatic?

Both. External GPU capacity can route to available GPUs automatically or pin a specific class, for example vl run --gpu H100 python train.py. BYOC teams can route jobs to connected capacity in their own environment.

How does pricing work?

For BYOC, you keep paying your cloud or GPU provider directly and pay VaultLayer for the orchestration and reliability layer. For external GPU capacity, you see the GPU quote before a run starts and pay for actual run time plus VaultLayer. In beta, we scope pricing with each team before setup.

Why not just add my own checkpointing?

You can — but checkpointing is only one piece. Teams still end up maintaining provisioning scripts, health checks, storage sync, retry logic, and dashboards for every training workflow. VaultLayer packages that reliability work into one control plane.

Is my workload isolated from other users?

Yes. Each job runs on its own provisioned GPU with credentials scoped to that job — you're not sharing a container with other customers, and no one can access your data (or you theirs).

Which frameworks does it work with?

Any standard training script — PyTorch, JAX, Hugging Face / TRL, Axolotl, and similar. If it runs with python train.py, it works. VaultLayer is focused on training and fine-tuning, not real-time inference serving.

How do I get access?

VaultLayer is in invite-only early access. Request an invite and we'll scope your BYOC pilot directly with your team. External capacity pilots can include trial credits when useful.
