Welcome to Spice.ai

Welcome to the Spice.ai Cloud Platform!

The Spice.ai Cloud Platform is an AI application and agent cloud — an AI-backend-as-a-service with composable, ready-to-use building blocks including high-speed SQL query, LLM inference, vector search, and RAG, built on cloud-scale, managed Spice.ai OSS.

This documentation covers the Spice.ai Cloud Platform.

For the self-hostable Spice.ai OSS runtime, visit docs.spiceai.org.
