CloudGPU — GPU cloud and model APIs on one balance

# CloudGPU > CloudGPU (cloudgpu.app) rents GPUs billed by the minute and runs an OpenAI-compatible AI API gateway, both paid from one prepaid USD balance. Payment methods are listed on https://cloudgpu.app/payments. Official addresses: the only CloudGPU website is cloudgpu.app, and the only API address is https://cloudgpu.app/v1. (CloudGPU 官网只有 cloudgpu.app，API 地址只有 https://cloudgpu.app/v1。) Last updated: 2026-11-10 (Asia/Shanghai). This file has no prices; live prices are on https://cloudgpu.app/pricing, https://cloudgpu.app/api and https://cloudgpu.app/gpu-prices.json. ## Facts at a glance - What it is: an independent GPU rental marketplace plus an OpenAI-compatible model API, on one prepaid balance. Machines come from partner suppliers and independent hosts. - Who it is for: developers. Eligibility rules are in https://cloudgpu.app/terms and https://cloudgpu.app/aup. - GPU billing: per minute, rounded up, 1-minute minimum. One hour is pre-authorised while an instance runs; unused minutes go back to your balance when you destroy the instance. No subscription, no minimum term. - Storage: destroying an instance, including when its balance runs out, erases its local disk. Eligible funded accounts can explicitly save project files in Workspace independently of the GPU, restore a saved version in a later Job, or apply it to an existing running GPU. Storage quotas, retention and any charges are returned by authenticated GET /v1/storage. No automatic disk backup. When GET /v1/public/compute-capabilities advertises automatic_output_collection=true, Jobs can declare explicit outputs under $CLOUDGPU_OUTPUT_DIR; check output_collection after completion. Otherwise save or download results before destruction. Existing storage quota and charges apply. See https://cloudgpu.app/workspace and https://cloudgpu.app/docs/mcp. - Instance types: every instance runs at the listed on-demand price. - Sign-up: email or Google account; no phone number or ID needed.
