Quickstart Guides

Alpha Access Required

Lucid is in private alpha. Request access before proceeding.

Get up and running with Lucid in under 5 minutes. These guides use serverless mode for instant deployment with zero infrastructure setup.

Prerequisites

Before starting any quickstart, ensure you have:

Install the CLI

All quickstarts use the Lucid CLI. Install it once:

pip install lucid-cli

Verify the installation:

lucid --help

What is Serverless Mode?

Serverless mode deploys your AI workloads to Lucid's managed infrastructure:

  • Instant deployment - No Kubernetes, no cloud setup
  • Same TEE security - Hardware attestation identical to self-hosted
  • Zero-trust by default - Verify attestation against Intel/AMD root of trust
  • Pay-per-use - No idle infrastructure costs (pricing details to be announced)

All quickstarts use the pattern:

lucid apply --model <MODEL> --profile <PROFILE>
