Paperspace offers both raw GPU instances and a specialized machine learning development suite called Gradient. Gradient supplies hosted Jupyter notebooks, automated pipelines, and containerized environments for training, making it accessible to a wide range of developers.
Users can launch “Workspaces” or “Jobs” that specify the Docker image, GPU type, and memory requirements. The platform manages the environment setup—installs drivers, frameworks, and libraries—minimizing the overhead for the developer. For large training jobs, the “Clusters” feature coordinates multiple GPU machines, while persistent storage helps maintain datasets and logs. Since Paperspace handles much of the infrastructure behind the scenes, it appeals to developers who prefer a quick start and minimal system administration. Teams can collaborate on shared notebooks, track model versions, and integrate with Git. This combination of simplicity and flexibility works equally well for small-scale prototyping and enterprise-level production.
