You can now create GPU Seeds in the console. A GPU Seed is a Seed with one or more dedicated NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. Each GPU has 96 GB of graphics memory and is reserved for your Seed alone. Even large models fit entirely into the memory of a single GPU. Use a GPU Seed to run your own language models, analyze documents and images, render 3D scenes or accelerate simulations. Your data stays on your Seed in Germany.
Your first order
GPU Seeds are enabled per team before the first order. You request access in the console when you create your first GPU Seed and tell us how many GPUs you need and what you plan to run. This does not place an order yet. Once your team is enabled, you receive an email and can order. Your GPU Seed is then ready within a few minutes.
Sizes and billing
When ordering, you choose how many GPUs your GPU Seed gets. vCPUs, memory and storage scale with the number of GPUs. Each vCPU is a CPU thread reserved exclusively for your Seed. You can later move a GPU Seed to a size with more GPUs. All sizes and prices are listed on the product page.
GPU Seeds are billed by the hour, up to a monthly cap. Billing ends when you delete the GPU Seed. A GPU Seed that is shut down but not deleted is still billed, because its GPUs stay reserved for you.
Drivers and CUDA preinstalled
Our GPU image comes with the NVIDIA driver and CUDA already set up, so you can install your software right away. You can also use any other image, such as Debian or Ubuntu, and install the driver and CUDA yourself.
Works like any other Seed
You manage GPU Seeds in the same console as your other Seeds. Snapshots, backups and volumes work with GPU Seeds too. If you only need the GPUs for one project, delete the GPU Seed when you are done. Data on attached volumes is kept, and the Seed's backups remain for 7 days. Everything is also available through our Public API.
Further improvements
- New: Your team's resource limits now have their own page under Team, where you can request an increase.
- New: The Public API now shows which plans and volume types are currently available in a region.
- New: TREK, a trip planner for groups, can now be installed with one click. We also sponsor the open source project.
- New: A guide shows how a Seed acting as a DDoS proxy protects a server hosted with another provider.
- New: Seeds and DDoS Protection now have their own product pages with pricing and FAQs.
- Improved: When you set up an application such as WordPress or Nextcloud, ports, email addresses and other settings are validated right away.
- Fixed: On Seeds with an SSH key or a custom cloud-init configuration, the SSH host keys were regenerated after the first reboot.
We look forward to your feedback and are available for any questions as usual.
