Guides
Plain-language guides: run open AI models on a rented GPU, make images, fine-tune, use the API at scale — and earn money with the GPU you already own.
Rent a GPU
Fine-tune an LLM on a rented GPU with QLoRA (7–8B on 24 GB)Fine-tune a 7–8B model like Qwen or Llama on one 24 GB card with QLoRA: your data, a short script, how long it takes, what it costs.
How much GPU memory (VRAM) do I need? Chat models, images and trainingHow much graphics-card memory open AI models need — chat models by size, SDXL and Flux images, fine-tuning — and which GPU to rent for each.
Make AI images on a rented GPU: Stable Diffusion, SDXL and FluxRun SDXL or Flux on a rented graphics card: which GPU to pick, a short diffusers notebook, ComfyUI or Forge, and how to keep your pictures.
How to run Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek or gpt-oss on a rented GPUPick the right GPU for an open AI model, start it in one click with Ollama or vLLM, and chat with it or call it like the OpenAI API — paying only by the hour.
Build with the API
An OpenAI-compatible API for open models, paid by the secondUse the OpenAI SDK with open models like Llama, Qwen and Mistral: change two settings, and a GPU serving the model starts for you, billed per second.
Rent a GPU with your own Docker image and start commandRun any public Docker image on a rented GPU with a start command — on the website in Pro mode, or through the API and the gpurent CLI.
Run 100,000 GPU tasks with one API call: batches explainedSpread embeddings, evaluations, renders or sweeps over many GPUs with one request: inputs, parallelism, retries, budgets and results, with examples.
SSH into a rented GPU: scp, rsync, port forwarding and VS CodeConnect to a rented GPU from your own terminal: one command for SSH, then scp, rsync, port forwarding and VS Code Remote-SSH — no open ports.
Earn with your GPU
Earn money with your gaming PC's GPU: how it works and how muchInstall one app, choose how your machine earns, see what common cards make per hour and per day, and how you get paid.
Is it safe to rent out my GPU? What renters can and cannot doWhat a renter's code can reach on your PC and what it cannot: the Docker sandbox, disk and network limits, escrowed payments, and the honest trade-offs.
