Thunder Compute
GPU cloud renting NVIDIA GPU instances by the minute, managed from a CLI, an editor extension or an MCP server.

A GPU on the other end of a network.
Thunder Compute rents NVIDIA GPU instances in one- to eight-card sizes, billed per minute while they run, with extra vCPUs, persistent disk and snapshots priced on top. The company develops GPU virtualization software, and its instances are themselves containers rather than virtual machines, as the Docker guide explains. Instances are created and reached from a VS Code extension, the tnr CLI, a web console, a REST API or an MCP server, and come from templates with CUDA, PyTorch and JupyterLab installed, or with Ollama or ComfyUI. The technical specifications place the hardware in North America.
Worth knowing
The compatibility page lists what does not run: managed memory, CUDA MPS, GPU-accelerated FFmpeg and GPU profilers. Docker inside an instance is experimental and Docker Compose does not work. Per the restrictions page, the service is unavailable in a list of countries, business-only with a VAT ID in others, and limited to one account per person.
