How pay is set ​

AI labs pay per GPU-hour for the compute they rent. The rate is the market rate for each GPU. It fluctuates and is updated in real time, so these docs do not publish a fixed price. The current rate is in the app and on GET /v1/gpus.

You earn 70% of that rate, times the share of the card you lend. Lending a larger share earns more, because more of the card is in use.

What counts ​

  • Time your GPU is online and serving is paid, minute by minute.
  • Paused GPUs do not earn.
  • Stepped-aside GPUs do not earn while your card is busy with something else. See Allocation and stepping aside.
  • Offline GPUs do not earn. Keep the worker running to earn.

Where to see it ​

The app's Overview shows your available balance, what you earned today, an hourly chart for the last 24 hours and your lifetime total. Each GPU on the Worker page shows its own earnings. The Network page shows the same figures for the whole network.

Earnings are credited every minute. There is no daily batch.
