Description
Hi everyone, Please checkout compute.cx which is a simple cli interface for using on demand GPUs from RunPod and HotAisle. I created this because I really like the ease of modal.com for severless gpu access, but don’t always want to pay their markup. Compute.cx gives the same DX but on public on-demand GPUs like runpod and hotaisie.Please try it out, and write to me [email protected] for any questions/suggestions, or file a bug report on https://github.com/theoriclabs/docs.compute.cxThanks! Harsh Gupta https://x.com/hargup13P.S. BYOK AWS, GCP and Azure coming soon, let me know if you want it.

Could you build this?
Partial The client CLI and orchestration wrapper are manageable to vibe code, but managing dynamic billing, multi-cloud API abstraction, and secure, low-latency containerized execution across heterogeneous GPU providers is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: Stack typically combines a Python/Go CLI with a centralized backend orchestration service (e.g., FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis) integrating provider APIs (RunPod, Hot Aisle, Vast.ai). Hard parts involve unified multi-cloud provisioning with sub-minute startup times, secure remote code packaging/execution via SSH or container agents, real-time log multiplexing, and resilient per-second billing with failover handling.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
