# Welcome to Valkyrie

> Run, fine-tune, and serve open LLMs on rented GPUs, without managing any infrastructure.

Valkyrie is Azumo's AI platform for running open language models. You pick a model,
deploy it, and call it through a normal OpenAI-compatible API. If you need it to be
better at your own task, you can fine-tune it on your data first. Either way, the GPUs
are rented for you on demand and shut down when they go idle, so you only pay while a
model is actually working.

## What you can do

* Run an open model without setting up a single GPU.
* Fine-tune a model on your own examples so it answers the way you need.
* Serve any model behind a stable API and a friendly URL.
* Drive the whole thing from an AI agent through the MCP server.
* Pay only for what you use, from a prepaid balance. No seats, no idle GPU bills.

## Who Valkyrie is for

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Run a model for your own use" icon="user">
    You want to use a capable open model and would rather not rent GPUs, install
    serving software, or babysit infrastructure. Deploy one and start calling it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Get better accuracy with fine-tuning" icon="graduation-cap">
    A general model gets you part of the way. Fine-tune it on your own examples and it
    gets noticeably better at your specific task.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Keep your models private" icon="shield">
    For companies that want their own models running on dedicated instances, with data
    and access under their control rather than sent to a third-party API.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Developers and AI agents fit here too: anything that speaks the OpenAI or Anthropic
API can call a Valkyrie model, and agents can operate the platform through the
[MCP server](/mcp/overview).
