Rent a cloud GPU on Vast.ai, render my Blender frame, then destroy the machine

The AI Launch team reports a live test where a managed the AI Agent, given one chat instruction, searched Vast.ai for an RTX 4060 Ti under a $0.40/hour cap, rented it, rendered a 1920x1080 Blender frame over SSH, and destroyed the instance. The whole cycle took 194 seconds and cost $0.007.

$0.01

How it works

  1. Receive one chat instruction to render the frame
  2. Search Vast.ai for an RTX 4060 Ti with at least 12GB VRAM under a $0.40/hour cap
  3. Get user approval of the offer and cost
  4. Generate a throwaway SSH key
  5. Upload files with SHA-256 verification
  6. Render on the rented GPU
  7. Destroy the instance; total 194 seconds, $0.007 charged

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent provisioned its own hardware: it rented a GPU, ran the render, and tore the machine down for less than a cent.
