Overview

Clients use the OpenGPU Network to run computational tasks on distributed GPUs.

Why OpenGPU for Clients

OpenGPU is a task marketplace, not a GPU marketplace. You don't manage infrastructure. Just define your task, set time limits and rewards, and let providers compete to deliver results.

  • Publish tasks, not rent GPUs

  • No infrastructure management

  • Providers compete for your work

  • Pay only for completed tasks

How It Works

  1. Create a Source — Define your execution environment (Docker container + requirements)

  2. Publish Tasks — Submit jobs with payment to your Source

  3. Get Results — Providers compete to execute; you receive results

Tools Available

Tool
Best For

Web-based source/task management

Programmatic integration

API access without blockchain (external)

Quick Paths

I want to run inference quickly: → Use Relay — API-based, no blockchain knowledge needed

I want to publish my own model:Publishing Sources — Create a custom Source

I want to automate task submission:Using the SDK — Programmatic access

Costs

  • Pay per task in $OGPU

  • Real-time competitive pricing

  • No minimum commitments

  • Payment held in escrow until completion

AI Agents

Clients can leverage AI agents to optimize task pricing and provider selection. See AI Agents for details.
