Can I theoretically buy a 4090 and rent it out to some cloud?
- petercooper 3y agoYes - https://vast.ai/ https://vast.ai/ is one option.
- Raydovsky 3y agoHuh, if your electricity prices are low enough, it can quite worth it
- tedunangst 3y agoInteresting, although the host requirements are a bit stringent for a casual. https://cloud.vast.ai/host/setup https://cloud.vast.ai/host/setup
- codetrotter 3y agoI’m not a cloud but I’d be happy to rent a 4090 from you now and then :D
- lostmsu 3y agoWe are working on it. If you have Windows Pro machine, see https://borg.games/setup https://borg.games/setup It is currently tailored to gaming, but ML workloads are coming shortly. Everything runs in an invisible ephemeral VM.
- ronsor 3y agoI love the idea, but the nature of running on untrusted user PCs brings some security concerns. If a game is multiplayer/requires a login, it would be trivial for a host to extract those credentials.
- lostmsu 3y agoThe idea is to use scoped time-limited authentication tokens for any such services.
