The part of your wallet you can spend on a new rental. Excludes reserved (held against running rentals). Shown in the top-right pill.
Automatic Stripe charge to refill your wallet when it dips below a threshold. Requires a saved card. See Topping up.
A GPU model line (e.g. h100-80gb). Distinct from a listing, which is one seller’s specific machine within that family.
The canonical string identifier for a family in the API: rtx-4090, rtx-5090, a100-80gb, h100-80gb, b200, b300.
Append-only history of every wallet movement.
One seller’s specific machine on the marketplace — a GPU model, VRAM, region, and hourly price. The catalog returns many listings per family; the marketplace surfaces the cheapest matching one.
Slang for an instance. We use them interchangeably across the docs.
Our billing model — you deposit credit, instances burn it per second. No invoices, no monthly bills.
The portion of your wallet held against currently-running rentals. Each rental reserves 1 hour at its rate. As the rental runs, the reserve drains.
A single instance lifecycle from launch to settlement. Identified by a rent_… ULID. Synonyms: instance, pod.
The starting image for a pod: ubuntu-24-04, pytorch, vllm, etc. See Instances.
The 26-character ID format used everywhere (01HZ3J9X8K2P5T7R4W1Q6Y8M0E). Sortable by creation time, URL-safe, no hyphens. Prefixed with type (usr_, rent_, etc.) for legibility.
The two sides of GPU Outlet: the buyer catalog of machines you can rent, and the Sell side where you list your own GPU box. See Sell your GPUs.
The service tier billed at the headline price and never reclaimed — the machine is yours until you stop it.
A 0–100 score on each supplier listing that blends uptime, cleanly finished sessions, buyer ratings, support responsiveness, honest specs, and time on the platform.
How you rent a machine: On-demand or Spot — a trade-off between price and how long you’re guaranteed to keep the GPU. See Instances → Service tiers.
A cheaper service tier that may be reclaimed if a full-price on-demand buyer needs the GPU. You’re only charged for the time you actually ran.
The cheapest service tier, and the first to be reclaimed when a full-price buyer needs the GPU. Save your work often.
A badge on a supplier listing shown once the machine has passed automated hardware checks (model, memory, and a quick benchmark).
GPU memory, in GB. The number you care about for whether your model fits.
The per-user credit balance. There’s exactly one per account. Three numbers: available, reserved, total.
Outbound HTTP call from Stripe to our server confirming an event (checkout.session.completed, setup_intent.succeeded, etc.). We require these to trust that Stripe really collected the money.
