Tired of usage limits or API costs? This guide walks you through switching from OpenAI’s API to your own self-hosted LLM using open-source models on Runpod.

Finished training your model in a Pod? This guide helps you decide when to switch to Serverless, what trade-offs to expect, and how to optimize for fast, cost-efficient inference.

No GPU. No team. Just $5. This is how one solo developer used Runpod Serverless to build and deploy a working AI product—"AI for Dads"—without writing any custom training code.

Runpod now integrates directly with AI IDEs like Cursor and Claude Desktop using MCP. Launch pods, deploy endpoints, and manage infrastructure—right from your editor.

Alibaba’s Qwen3 is here—with major performance improvements and a full range of models from 0.5B to 72B parameters. This post breaks down what’s new, how it compares to other open models, and what it means for developers.
