# What is AirCloud?

[AirCloud](https://ap-1.aieev.cloud:3007/get-started) is a fully distributed GPU Cloud Platform designed to deploy and operate AI inference workloads quickly and flexibly. Users can integrate models quickly through APIs, or deploy container images directly to build the runtime environment they need.

## Choose your deployment method

  <Card title="Air API" icon="sparkles" href="/docs/air-api" cta="Start with APIs" arrow="true">
    Integrate AI models through APIs without managing infrastructure directly. Ideal when you want to quickly integrate high-quality open-source models or run inference workloads on a usage-based basis without operational overhead.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Air Container" icon="box" href="/docs/air-container/deploy-a-container" cta="Deploy a container" arrow="true">
    Deploy container images you prepare directly onto AirCloud. Ideal when you need full control over the GPU environment and runtime — for custom CUDA environments, fine-tuned model serving, or complex pipeline configurations.
