We are actively working on this feature and will update this section once it is available very soon in the next few weeks.

An On-Demand instance is a non-interruptible virtual machine that you can deploy and terminate at any time, paying only for the compute time you use.

You can pause and resume instances on providers where this feature is supported, allowing you to save the state and continue later without losing your progress, at a much lower cost than keeping the instance running. Current providers that support this feature include Runpod and Tensordock. Please note that the requested GPU resources might not be available when you try to resume the instance, which could lead to wait times.

No, once an instance is terminated, all data stored on it is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Instances typically launch within a few minutes, but the exact time may vary depending on the provider. More detailed information on spin-up time is shown on your instance card.

Each Pod has an hourly cost depending on the provider and GPU type. Your Prime Intellect credits are deducted every minute while the Pod is active. If your credits run out, your Pods will be automatically deleted. We highly recommend setting up our auto-top-up feature in your billing settings to ensure balances are automatically topped up as needed.
