# What Is an Engineering Workbench?

An engineering workbench is one place where researchers and engineers run simulations, train and serve models, and work interactively, on shared infrastructure.

[Book Demo](https://www.vantagecompute.ai/contact/)

## How it works

- Simulation and batch jobs are submitted, tracked and rerun from one interface.
- Models are trained, tuned and served from the same place, on the same GPUs.
- Interactive work (notebooks, remote desktops and cloud shells) starts with the right hardware attached.
- Everyone works under one identity, so usage and cost are attributed to a person, a team and a project.

## How Vantage Compute relates

The engineering workbench in Vantage Compute is where teams simulate, train and serve from one place, with a built-in AI agent they can ask in plain language, on infrastructure they control.
