What is Lepton?

Lepton is a command-line tool for building and deploying AI models called photons. It simplifies the workflow for developers who want to create models locally, test them, and push them to Lepton AI's cloud infrastructure. The tool handles the technical complexity of model management, letting you focus on development rather than infrastructure setup. Installation is straightforward via pip, making it accessible to developers already familiar with Python. Lepton manages cloud resources including workspaces, deployments, secrets, and storage from the command line, which suits developers who prefer terminal-based workflows. It's particularly useful if you want to move between local development and cloud deployment without switching tools or rewriting code.
