GPU Pool

What is this?

A private GPU pool for our group. Lend a card, use the pool: each of us lends one graphics card, together the cards run strong coding models (Qwen3 Coder, GLM, Devstral…), and everyone who lends gets a free API key for their coding agents — it works anywhere an OpenAI-style key works.

You givea Windows or Linux PC with an NVIDIA card (8 GB+) that stays on. You choose which card and how much VRAM; poolnode stop frees it any time.
You getfree access to the pool's models from any computer, as much as you want — while your card is in the pool.
Setupone command, copy-paste. The pool finds your card, picks what to run on it and downloads it by itself.

How your PC stays safe

Encrypted private networkYour PC joins through Tailscale, which uses WireGuard encryption (the tech modern VPNs use). Nothing on your PC is opened to the public internet.
Your PC is boxed inNetwork rules allow exactly one thing: the pool server may reach the model service on your card, and even that needs a secret key only the server has. Other members can't reach your PC, and your PC can't reach theirs. On Windows a firewall rule adds the same limit.
No remote controlThe pool can only start and stop its own model service and read its own logs. It can't run commands, see your files, or install anything else.
Secrets stay secretYour machine's token is stored in a file only you can read. Passwords and API keys are stored scrambled on the server, never in plain text.
You're in chargepoolnode stop frees your card instantly. poolnode uninstall removes it all.
Honest noteWhen your card answers someone's request, that request's text is processed on your PC, and the same goes for yours on theirs. Don't send the pool secrets you wouldn't share with the group.

Two things to do, both copy-paste.

1 · Save your API key

Shown once. Save it in your password manager now. (Lost it? Make a new one on the pool page.)

It starts working as soon as your card is online in the pool (step 2).



API base URL
Model


For most coding tools, set these two:


2 · Link up your GPU machine
Run this once on the PC with the NVIDIA card. It joins the private network, installs the card software, and starts it in the background. Safe to re-run.
If the PC has more than one NVIDIA card, it lists them and asks which ones to lend.


This command contains your machine's secret token. Don't post it anywhere.
