Salad Technologies

Salad Technologies is an orchestration cloud company that transforms idle consumer GPU resources into accessible cloud computing infrastructure. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, the company has built a platform that coordinates distributed compute resources across thousands of locations worldwide, enabling organizations to access GPU power at significantly reduced costs compared to traditional hyperscalers.

The company operates SaladCloud, a global network that connects over 16,000 daily active GPUs across 190+ countries, running on hardware contributed by individual users. Salad's Container Engine orchestrates Docker workloads across this distributed infrastructure, handling scheduling, monitoring, failover, and resource allocation. The platform offers AI Gateway for OpenAI-compatible LLM inference endpoints, Transcription API for speech-to-text services, and Salad Dedicated for reserved bare metal capacity. By leveraging idle consumer hardware instead of building new data centers, Salad provides GPU computing at up to 90% lower cost than conventional cloud providers while enabling anyone with compatible hardware to contribute to and benefit from the network.
