Nodus Compute

Visit Nodus Compute

Nodus Compute is a cloud compute platform for running AI workloads, in pilot. Users submit a command and receive results, with compute matched to the workload's image, memory and resource requirements. Interrupted work can be restarted from saved files, with the program reloading its own checkpoints to resume progress.

The platform supports training (pre-training, post-training, fine-tuning including LoRA), agent sandboxes with evals and configurable limits, and reinforcement learning environments with training templates and evaluation comparison; inference is listed as coming soon. Workspaces preserve saved project files between compute sessions and support VS Code, Jupyter and SSH connections. Workloads can be run from coding agents including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. The console provides tenant-scoped access with API keys, roles, spend ceilings, audit logging, and webhook signing; checkpoint integrity is SHA-256 verified.

Pricing is usage-based, listed per hour across 16 GPU models and 6 CPU and memory configurations with included disk. The service is in pilot, with invite-gated signup.
