Could you build this?
No The service requires a custom SSH daemon (similar to Wish/Charm.sh) integrated with automated cloud or bare-metal GPU hypervisor provisioning, custom Linux kernel images, and billing infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a custom SSH frontend (using Go crypto/ssh or libssh) that authenticates users, coupled with an orchestration backend talking to GPU providers (Lambda Labs, RunPod, or bare-metal clouds via API). It requires custom VM image baking (Packer, cloud-init, CUDA/PyTorch pre-installed), fast snapshot restoration (using technologies like Firecracker or cloud-hypervisor), dynamic PCI passthrough, and secure wireguard/SSH tunneling to connect the user directly to the spun-up GPU container.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
