Platform For AI:AI computing resources

Last Updated:Jun 23, 2026

PAI AI computing resources deliver high-reliability, high-performance GPU computing power for training and inference scenarios that demand low latency and consistent stability.

Resource types

  • Cloud-native resources

    These resources support PAI-DSW, PAI-EAS, and PAI-DLC.

    • General-purpose computing resources

      General-purpose computing resources, such as ECS, ECI, and EGS, provide a flexible and stable deep learning training environment. After you activate PAI, a public resource quota for general-purpose computing resources is created by default. You can associate this quota with a workspace.

    • Lingjun intelligent computing resources

      Lingjun intelligent computing resources are designed for large-scale deep learning. With integrated software and hardware optimization, they deliver high performance, efficiency, and utilization for large model training, inference, and development.

  • Big data engine resources

    These resources support PAI-Designer.

    • MaxCompute

      MaxCompute is an enterprise-grade, SaaS-based cloud data warehouse that provides fully managed data analysis and processing at scale. For details, see What is MaxCompute.

    • Fully-managed Flink resources

      Alibaba Cloud Realtime Compute for Apache Flink is a one-stop, real-time big data analytics platform built on Apache Flink, delivering sub-second data analysis. For details, see What is Alibaba Cloud Realtime Compute for Apache Flink.

Get started

Go to AI Computing Resources > Resource Pools to create a resource group and purchase computing resources:

Go to AI Computing Resources > Quotas to create a resource quota and allocate computing power across teams. After you bind the quota to a workspace, you can use its computing power for AI development and training.

  • Cloud-native resource quota

    After purchasing computing resources in a resource pool, you can allocate computing power from one or more resource groups to a resource quota. You can also create a sub-level resource quota to form a quota tree, enabling more flexible queuing and scheduling.

  • Big data resource quota

    For details on activating, purchasing, and using big data resource quotas, see:
