The outcome

Get into the official DGX Cloud Lepton experience with the right account and a setup you understand.

DGX Cloud Lepton is a NVIDIA AI application and inference platform for Python Photons, containers, endpoints, jobs, and GPU resources. Turning Python model code into a Photon service, deploying a Photon or container as a GPU endpoint, and operating bounded AI jobs and inference workloads in a managed workspace. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.

Before you begin

Set the boundary before the tool starts.

Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.

Troiana principle

AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Start at https://build.nvidia.com/lepton and confirm the domain before entering account or payment information.

  2. 02

    For desktop use, follow the official download link. Current availability: DGX Cloud Lepton is a browser-managed cloud platform with the Python leptonai package and lep command-line interface for local development and cloud deployment..

  3. 03

    A DGX Cloud Lepton workspace, current leptonai package, scoped workspace credentials, a licensed model and container, secure secrets, representative tests, resource quotas, and deployment ownership.

  4. 04

    Sign in with the account you intend to keep using, then review plan, data, notification, and permission settings.

  5. 05

    Run one low-risk test task before connecting sensitive files, repositories, or workspace data.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Use official download pages.
  • Review permissions during setup.
  • Keep installers and applications updated.

Older material may call endpoints deployments and the product Lepton AI; current documentation uses NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton. A Photon simplifies packaging but does not remove responsibility for unsafe handlers, arbitrary code, dependency and model licenses, public exposure, secrets, logs, autoscaling, or GPU cost. Pin versions, use private access, isolate secrets, cap resources, and update with rollback.
