Introduction

Compute runs a Python function on a newly provisioned cloud GPU, streams output to your terminal, returns JSON, and confirms the machine is gone. You do not manage images, keep-alive pools, or a login to the box. The machine exists for one run.

What you do

curl -fsSL https://compute.cx/install.sh | sh
compute setup
compute credits add 10
compute run train.py::main --gpu H100-SXM --wait

--gpu H100 is an alias for H100-SXM. The three-command funnel (install → setup → run) also lives on compute.cx/quickstart. This site is the manual.

What is live

Surface	Status
Install (`curl\|sh`)	Live
Sign-in + `compute setup`	Live
Prepaid credits	Live — $10 minimum
RunPod Secure H100-SXM	Public lead SKU
Hot Aisle MI300X	Available, stock can be tight
Cancel + teardown	Live
Dashboard	Observe keys, credits, runs — not the launcher

Compute is in early access. One active run per account and spend or create-rate limits may refuse a run; provider capacity is not guaranteed. Different accounts are not serialized by a Compute-wide machine slot.

What this manual does not cover

These exist in design or in the binary and are not documented as customer-ready here:

pip install compute (v0.2)
Detached SDK handles that you wait on later
Persistent disks
Checkpoint resume
Community / interruptible / extra consumer SKUs
Multi-GPU shapes

Rates and the platform fee are on Pricing. Use compute gpu list for the locked list rate on a SKU. Do not hard-code a fee percentage from this page.

Install

Isolated venv, compute on PATH.
