Renters

Rent GPUs on lium.io — browse the marketplace, deploy a containerized pod in minutes, pay only for what you use.

This section is UI-first: every page walks through the dashboard at lium.io and shows where to click. The matching API and CLI live in the Developers section and are referenced from each page in a collapsed "For agents and automation" block.

Reference (don't read top-to-bottom)

• Broken pods — what a BROKEN status means (provider force-closed the pod) and how to clear it.
• Pod overview & security model — what a pod actually is and what the GPU provider can/can't see.
• API Keys — generate keys for the CLI, SDK, MCP, or your own AI agent.
• Pod security — what to never put on a non-CVM pod.
• GPU profiling with ncu — rent a whole-host machine where Nsight Compute works.
