DGX Cloud Lepton Free API and NVIDIA Build Migration Guide
Lepton AI was founded by Yangqing Jia (PyTorch co-creator) and later moved into the NVIDIA DGX Cloud / Build path. For developers, the key question is not whether the old lepton.ai endpoint works, but whether the current NVIDIA console exposes testable models, credits, RPM, endpoints, and pricing. Compare it with NVIDIA Build, Groq, Fireworks, and Together before production.
