How cgpu works
The short version. The API reference and agent guide arrive with the next release.
- Sign up with your email. Accept the agreement. Optionally create an organization if you represent a nonprofit, university, fiscally sponsored project, or government research group.
- Request compute. Describe the project, pick a GPU type, estimate hours and storage. An approver reviews the request and grants a budget with an expiry date. Organizations can receive budgets directly on the strength of their mission statement.
- Launch instances against a budget. Every instance has SSH access with your keys. Billing runs per minute at the published rate card and stops when you terminate.
- Give back. Publish results, open-source code, share negative results, acknowledge the compute source, and report what the compute was used for.
For AI agents
Create an API key in settings and send it as x-api-key. The REST API under /api/v1 and an OpenAPI spec are coming in the next release, followed by an MCP server.
