Introducing Backyard Cloud

March 27, 2024

Today we’re excited to release Backyard Cloud. After months in beta testing, it's live with two new subscription plans – Standard and Pro – offering bigger AI models, larger context sizes, and faster speeds.

What is Backyard Cloud? #

Backyard Cloud is a paid service that gives you unlimited access to powerful AI models managed by our team. These models are available 24/7 with no queues or wait times.

As always, we take security & data privacy extremely seriously. All chats are encrypted at rest and never logged or shared for any reason.

Accessing Cloud Models #

We’ve designed the Backyard Cloud offering to integrate seamlessly into Backyard AI on both Desktop and Web.

In the Desktop App, you can seamlessly switch between local models running on your computer, and remote models running in the cloud. It’s a convenient and affordable way to experiment with large, resource-intensive AI models without having to upgrade your Mac/PC.

In our Web App (available on your desktop and mobile browser) & iOS / Android apps, Cloud models provide a convenient way to chat with your AI Characters on the go. You can access them from anywhere, at any time.
