Definition
Cloud computing provides scalable infrastructure for AI workloads, allowing developers to access powerful GPUs and storage without maintaining physical data centers. It supports various service models like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for training large models and Platform as a Service (PaaS) for deploying applications. This flexibility enables rapid experimentation and deployment of machine learning solutions at a global scale.
Summary
The cloud refers to remote servers hosted on the internet used to store, manage, and process data and AI models instead of local hardware.
