Rent a GPU by matching the model to memory first. A short LoRA run or a ComfyUI batch often fits a 24 GB card. A 70B-class chat model, or a long vLLM context, usually needs an H100 or H200. The GPU list shows what is offered. Each price page shows that card's starting ask and what the memory is for.
Open the marketplace after you know the card. The offer there is the one you can launch. The hourly number is the rate billed per second while the pod is running. Stopping the machine stops that clock. Do not copy an hourly figure out of an old article and treat it as today's price.
Rent a GPU with crypto once the account exists. Deposit USDT or USDC on Solana, Ethereum, or BNB Chain, USDT on TRON, or SOL or ETH. That balance pays the rental. Per-second crypto billing is explained in the note linked below. Public GPU and template tools can be read without a key. Balance, rentals, and the deposit address need the account.
Launch a template instead of installing CUDA by hand. vLLM, LoRA, and ComfyUI each have a playbook: one smoke test, then more traffic or a longer run. If the first request runs out of memory, move up a VRAM class. Do not keep a 70B model on a 24 GB card.
Write down the GPU name, the ask you accepted, and the template. That note is what you use if you relaunch tomorrow. Shut the pod off when the job is done. An idle server is still billed per second.
