Machine Learning requires vast amounts of resources, and distributing these resources across multiple devices and regions helps with cost, speed, and data sovereignty.

Instead of moving large datasets around networks, Bacalhau makes it easy to execute jobs close to the data’s location, reducing latency and resource overhead.
