Cerebrium
Cerebrium is a serverless AI infrastructure platform for deploying GPU and CPU workloads such as voice agents, model APIs, video pipelines, and custom inference with per-second compute billing and production observability.
Cerebrium is a strong choice for developers who need custom GPU-backed agent or model services with serverless scaling and do not want to build the underlying orchestration layer.
Pricing Plans
Hobby
Includes a small team, up to three deployed apps, and usage-based compute.
Standard
Adds unlimited apps, more concurrency, custom domains, and production features.
Enterprise
Adds volume discounts, custom concurrency, dedicated support, and engineering services.
Core Features
1Serverless AI compute
- Deploy Python workloads to CPU or GPU containers
- Scale dynamically for bursty inference
- Choose current accelerator families and multi-region capacity
2Agent and model workloads
- Host voice agents and real-time pipelines
- Serve custom LLM, vision, audio, and video models
- Run code-defined preprocessing and tool backends
3Production operations
- Per-second compute billing
- Fast container startup and snapshotting
- Logs, metrics, tracing, custom domains, and isolated execution
Pros
- Code-first deployment preserves flexibility around custom models and dependencies
- Per-second billing works well for bursty AI applications
- Wide GPU selection and fast scaling reduce infrastructure work
- Observability and isolation are included in the managed platform
Cons
- Compute costs remain workload-dependent and can be difficult to predict
- Build and model initialization time may still be billable
- A managed platform adds vendor-specific deployment conventions
- Production cost comparisons must include orchestration, storage, and networking rather than GPU rate alone
