>log in to commentHi, I'm Gosha, founder of gpu.nz. Servers are billed by the minute, and a stopped server costs only its disk. The part I'd most like feedback on is the MCP server: add https://gpu.nz/mcp to Claude Code or Cursor and ask it to find the cheapest 24 GB card and start Ollama. Browsing offers and the VRAM estimate work without a key. Happy to answer questions about the setup.
gpu.nz provides on-demand GPU server rentals billed per minute via API, CLI or UI.

Key features
- Per-minute billing — Pay only for the exact minutes the GPU runs, with prices fixed at launch.
- API and CLI access — Control servers programmatically via an OpenAPI 3.1 REST API or the open-source gpunz CLI.
- Ready-to-run templates — Launch pre-configured environments like ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, Ollama, vLLM, Jupyter, or your own Docker image.
- Global GPU pool — Access 3,886 GPUs across 62 countries with live price and stock updates.
- SSH and web UI access — Connect to running servers over SSH or through web interfaces for each environment.
- Interruptible servers — Cheaper bid-based instances that pause when outbid, ideal for batch jobs.
Use cases
- Run a single-GPU Stable Diffusion job and stop when finished
- Train a LoRA model with ComfyUI and pay only for active minutes
- Serve an LLM via vLLM with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Execute Jupyter notebooks for PyTorch experiments without owning hardware
- Render video frames using RTX 4090 and shut down instantly after rendering

- gpu.nz vs Modal: Modal offers serverless GPU workloads in Python but focuses on managed functions rather than per-minute VM rentals.
- gpu.nz vs Render: Render provides cloud GPU rendering services, not general-purpose GPU servers with API control.
- gpu.nz vs Firebase: Firebase is a full-stack app platform without on-demand GPU instances.
- gpu.nz vs Fly.io: Fly.io runs full-stack apps close to users, lacking minute-based GPU rentals.
gpu.nz FAQ
How is per-minute billing calculated?+
A minute costs the hourly rate divided by 60; the rate is fixed when the server starts.
Do I pay for a stopped server?+
GPU billing stops when the server is stopped, but disk storage continues to be billed.
How can I top up my balance?+
Balance can be topped up via SBP from Russian banks or with cryptocurrencies (USDT, TON, BTC, etc.) starting from $2.
What happens if my balance runs out?+
You receive warnings; if the balance cannot cover even one minute, the server and its disks are deleted.
Can I choose the server location?+
Yes, you select a country and region from the catalog; servers are available in 62 countries.
What are interruptible servers?+
They run on a bid system, are cheaper, and can be paused if outbid, suitable for non-critical batch jobs.
