Request a GPU that is sold out

If no node with the GPU you need is free, file a machine request. Providers of that GPU may be e-mailed, and Lium e-mails you when a matching node is listed.

File a request

Open Machine Requests

In the left menu, open Machine Requests and click ADD NEW.

Fill it in

Pick the Machine Name (GPU model, e.g. NVIDIA B200) and the GPU Count for one pod.

Save

The request shows in your list. Its Nodes column lists the nodes offered for it.

What happens next

• Providers may be told and can offer a node.
• Lium checks Browse Pods every 5 minutes and e-mails you a link to the cheapest match, at most once a day.
• A request is watched for 30 days. After that, file a new one.

The node in the e-mail is held for you for 10 minutes when your balance covers 15 minutes of it. The e-mail gives the end time. Renting any node ends your holds. After that anyone can rent it, so rent from the link quickly.

Close the request

When you have what you need, delete it with the bin icon in its row.
