Partner Spotlight: Zerve

Maximize your AI resources with Zerve's IDE for LLMs. 

Zerve's next generation data science & AI workbench enables data science & AI teams to start faster, develop faster & deploy faster.

With our new IDE for LLMs release, organizations can leverage our integrations with Hugging Face and AWS Bedrock to import, train, fine-tune and deploy their models. What's more, because Zerve persists your models, variables and data, once you import an LLM, this becomes a fully hosted, accessible, private version of that model. 

Zerve is also designed to be self-hosted in your own cloud infrastructure and enables users to run their code on serverless GPUs, so challenges like data leakage through third party prompts or managing the complex GPU infrastructure required for these models are solved from day one with Zerve.
