Create an Instance

  1. Log in to the console
  2. Click Create Instance
  3. A dialog will open—select your mode, GPU, CPU, disk size, and template
  4. Click Launch

Configuration Options

The console provides the same configuration options as the CLI and extension:
  • Mode: Prototyping or Production
  • GPU Type: Available options depend on mode
  • GPU Count: Options depend on mode and GPU type
  • vCPUs: Options vary by GPU type and count (prototyping only)
  • Primary Disk: Range varies by mode
  • Ephemeral Storage: Fast temporary storage mounted at /ephemeral. See Ephemeral Storage
  • Template: Base, Ollama, ComfyUI, and more

Mode Selection

Choose between optimized development pricing or full compatibility:
  • Prototyping (default): Lower cost with CUDA-level optimizations. Best for development.
  • Production: Standard VM with full compatibility. Best for long-running jobs and production workloads.
See Prototyping vs Production for details on each mode.

GPU, CPU, and RAM

Available GPU types, GPU counts, vCPU options, and RAM configurations vary by mode. Check the pricing page for current options.

Templates

Templates pre-configure your instance for common AI workflows:
