-Optionally you may register your machine with Lepton AI Platform -- the managed option brings several benefits:
-
-- Automated GPU health check and repair.
-- Centralized GPU metrics and logs.
-- Real-time GPU failure detection and alerting.

Once you opt-in to the lepton.ai platform, the GPUd periodically sends more detailed information about the host (e.g., GPU model and metrics), via the secure channel.
-#### Does my machine need a public IP to report to lepton.ai?
