Rent a GPU

Spin up an NVIDIA GPU in your browser in under a minute — a full Jupyter Lab environment, billed per minute.

Renting runs entirely in your browser — there's nothing to install.

Before you start

You only need two things:

  • An account — sign in with Google or a one-time email code.
  • Credits — rentals are billed per minute, so you need a balance to begin. A short 1-hour balance is required up front to open a session; you're only charged for the minutes you actually use. Top up with crypto (USDC/USDT) on the Add Credits page — see Credits & Billing for details.

1. Browse available GPUs

Open the Rent page. You'll see every GPU that's online and ready, with its specs, location, and per-hour rate. Filter and sort to find the right card — from an RTX 4090 to an H100.

2. Open a GPU

Click a GPU to open its page. Each node has a shareable link (/rent/<id>), so you can send a specific GPU to a teammate. If a node was taken in the meantime, the page tells you and points you to other available GPUs.

3. Choose access and confirm

On the GPU's page:

  1. Select an access typeJupyter Lab (a browser IDE with Python, a terminal, and a file browser) is selected by default.
  2. Accept the Terms of Service with the checkbox.
  3. Click Start rental. This is the deliberate, billed step — you'll see the per-hour rate on the button. That rate is locked for your whole session; it can't change while your rental is running. Billing is pay as you go, per minute, and you can stop anytime.

4. Open your session

Your container starts in a few seconds. When it's ready you get a Jupyter Lab URL — click it to open your environment in a new tab. From the terminal you can pip install, run training, use nvidia-smi, and more.

Working in your session

A few things worth knowing:

  • Terminals and notebooks keep running even if you close the browser — they live on the instance, not your tab.
  • The instance can restart, which stops running processes (your files on disk are kept). For long jobs, checkpoint to disk so you can resume.
  • Everything is wiped when the rental ends — download anything you want to keep before you stop.

Stopping

Stop the rental from My Rentals whenever you're done. You're billed only for the minutes you used.

Prefer code?

Everything on this page is also available over HTTP — browse GPUs, start a rental, get its connection URL, and stop it, all programmatically with the same API key. See the Rental API.
