Switching from Jarvislabs: what maps to what
| On Jarvislabs | On PowerGPU |
|---|---|
| Instance (pause/resume) | Instance (stop keeps the disk, start resumes) |
| Template | One of 37 templates or any image |
| Spot instance | Interruptible instance, flat −50% |
| Storage | Volume, $0.08/GB/month |
pip install powergpu
export POWERGPU_API_KEY=pg_live_… # console → API keys
powergpu launch --gpu h200 --template pytorch --disk 100 --volume data:/data
# ✓ instance i-52ab77c1 running (24.1s) · $3.058/hr · per second
powergpu stop i-52ab77c1 # billing ends this secondData moves the boring way: rsync or rclone from your Jarvislabs machine to a PowerGPU volume, which then mounts on every future instance in seconds. Templates for PyTorch, vLLM, ComfyUI and Ollama are official images; anything else runs from its OCI reference.
A real month, costed
| Scenario | Jarvislabs | PowerGPU |
|---|---|---|
| 1× H200, 730 hours on-demand | $2,913 | $2,232 |
| 1× H200, 8 h/day × 20 days | $638 | $489 |
