# Overview

Gcore Everywhere Inference deploys trained AI models on edge inference nodes across 180+ locations worldwide. It brings models closer to users for low response times, with no infrastructure to manage — suited for latency-sensitive workloads in fintech, healthcare, gaming, media, and industrial applications.

Gcore routes end-user queries to the nearest running model using [anycast endpoints](https://gcore.com/learning/what-is-anycast). Smart Routing selects the closest inference region through a single endpoint—no scaling, routing, or node monitoring required.

## How Everywhere Inference works

It combines two technologies:

1. **Edge network** — provides low latency via anycast balancing, smart routing, and built-in DDoS and bot protection.
2. **Serverless flexible GPU infrastructure** — enables deployment of [Application Catalog](/edge-ai/everywhere-inference/application-catalog) models or [custom models](/edge-ai/everywhere-inference/ai-models/prepare-a-custom-ai-model-for-deployment) on purpose-built NVIDIA GPUs.

Gcore uses [Healthchecks](/dns/dns-failover/configure-and-use-dns-failover) to monitor pod availability. If a pod in one region goes down, requests are automatically routed to the next-closest inference region.
