What is Covalent?

Covalent is a Python library for AI/ML engineers, developers, and researchers. It provides a straightforward approach to running compute jobs, like LLMs, generative AI, and scientific research, on various cloud platforms or on-prem clusters.

<details> <summary><i><b>Run Code Anywhere:</b> Execute Python functions in any cloud or on-prem cluster by changing just a single line of code.</i></summary> <br>

It is as simple as swapping the decorator with our executor plugins. Choose from existing plugins or create custom ones for tailored interactions with any infrastructure.
