Renting a GPU for AI from Russia
How to choose a GPU rental service for AI from Russia: per-minute billing in rubles, ready templates, payment options and the first launch.
You can rent a graphics card for AI by the minute, for example on gpu.nz: the service rents GPU servers for rubles, with ready templates for ComfyUI, Forge, Ollama, vLLM and PyTorch. The balance can be topped up with cryptocurrency through CryptoBot now; bank cards and SBP are coming soon.
What to check when choosing a service
- Per-minute or hourly billing for the time the server runs, not a monthly fee.
- Prices in rubles and clear rules: what is billed when the server is stopped.
- Ready environments: templates, SSH, Jupyter, an API and a command-line tool.
- A payment method that works for you.
- Support you can reach and clear refund terms.
Which card to pick for the task
- Language models through Ollama or vLLM: choose the card by the memory the model needs, see the VRAM guide.
- Images and video in ComfyUI or Forge: usually 16–24 GB for Stable Diffusion and FLUX.
- Training and experiments in PyTorch with Jupyter: see the guide «How to train AI models without your own GPU».
How to start on gpu.nz
- Sign up with e-mail, or sign in with Google or Telegram.
- Top up the balance: now through CryptoBot (USDT, TON, BTC and other coins).
- Pick a card in the catalog and the template the task needs.
- Launch the server, work, and stop it when you are done.
Payment
