Beam is an open-source platform for running remote containers directly from Python. It supports GPU/CUDA acceleration, allows you to scale out arbitrary Python code to hundreds of machines, easily deploy functions and task queues, and distribute workloads across various cloud providers (including bare metal providers).

### Beam Cloud (Recommended)

The fastest way and most reliable way to get started with Beam is by signing up for free to [Beam Cloud](https://beam.cloud). Your first 10 hours of usage are free, and afterwards you pay based on usage.

In our view, the existing cloud providers offer tools that are too bloated and complicated for developers to iterate quickly.
