--- title: Machine description: 'H200 machines support one, two, four, and eight GPUs via Machine.H200,' canonical: 'https://lightning.ai/docs/sdk/stable/api/machine' --- # Machine {#machine} H200 machines support one, two, four, and eight GPUs via `Machine.H200`, `Machine.H200_X_2`, `Machine.H200_X_4`, and `Machine.H200_X_8`; B200 machines support one and eight via `Machine.B200` and `Machine.B200_X_8`. Use the same names on every cloud, or `--gpus H200:2` in the CLI. Availability depends on the selected cloud and account. ### `class lightning_sdk.Machine(name, slug, instance_type=None, family=None, accelerator_count=None, cost=None, interruptible_cost=None, provider=None, wait_time=None, interruptible_wait_time=None, _include_in_cli=True)` {#lightning_sdk.Machine} Bases: [`object`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#object "(in Python v3.15)") Hardware configuration for running Studios and Jobs on the Lightning AI platform. Use the pre-defined class attributes (e.g. `Machine.A10G`, `Machine.H100`) rather than constructing instances directly. Pass a `Machine` to [`start()`](/docs/sdk/2026.11.04/api/studio.md#lightning_sdk.Studio.start "lightning_sdk.Studio.start"), [`run()`](/docs/sdk/2026.11.04/api/job.md#lightning_sdk.Job.run "lightning_sdk.Job.run"), or [`run()`](/docs/sdk/2026.11.04/api/mmt.md#lightning_sdk.MMT.run "lightning_sdk.MMT.run") to select the hardware.
