End-to-end infrastructure for training and inferencing open weight models

Why This Matters

Applied Compute's AC2 pitches a single, integrated stack for training, serving, and continually improving open-weight models, aimed at researchers who currently stitch together separate tools for data, training, inference, and observability. Notably, onboarding is designed around coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor, which install the CLI and wire up an MCP server automatically — a sign of how developer tooling is being packaged for AI agents rather than humans.

Key Takeaways

End-to-end infrastructure for training and inferencing open weight models.

Applied Compute Agent Cloud (AC2) is a researcher cockpit for end-to-end model development, inference and continual learning.

​ Onboard with your coding agent

The fastest way to get started is to let your coding agent set AC2 up for you. Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any coding agent:

Fetch https://platform.appliedcompute.com/agents.md (e.g. curl -fsSL https://platform.appliedcompute.com/agents.md) and follow its instructions to set up AC2 for me.

The agent installs the CLI, logs you in, wires up the AC2 MCP server, and walks you through your first project. Prefer to run the steps yourself? Follow the Quickstart

ac2.sdk — platform client for datasets, workloads, sessions, traces, and secrets.

— platform client for datasets, workloads, sessions, traces, and secrets. ac2.runtime — agent framework for agents, environments, orchestrators, tasks, graders, and episodes.

— agent framework for agents, environments, orchestrators, tasks, graders, and episodes. ac2.tracing — OpenTelemetry-based observability SDK. Add @traced to any function to capture timing, inputs, outputs, and nested spans. Exports to ClickHouse and Langfuse.

Quickstart Install the SDK and train a model. Runtime Define agents, environments, orchestrators, and eval tasks. SDK Manage datasets, deployments, runs, traces, and secrets from Python. MCP server Analyze eval and train traces from your editor.
