> Low-resource setup: No local GPU? That's fine.
> - Use OpenAI embeddings (`--embedding-mode openai --embedding-model text-embedding-3-small`) for fast indexing without local compute.
> - Or run remote builds with SkyPilot using the template at `sky/leann-build.yaml` (see Configuration Guide for details).
> - If build/search is slow, consider these two options or disable recomputation with `--no-recompute` (trade storage for speed).

### Cloud Builds with SkyPilot (Optional)
If your local machine lacks a GPU or you want faster embedding/index builds, you can run LEANN builds on a cloud GPU VM using SkyPilot. A ready-to-use template is provided at `sky/leann-build.yaml`.
```bash
sky launch -c leann-gpu sky/leann-build.yaml
sky exec leann-gpu -- "leann build my-index --docs ~/leann-data --backend hnsw --complexity 64 --graph-degree 32"
```
See the configuration guide section “Running Builds on SkyPilot (Optional)” for details.
