Nodus Compute

AI compute platform for training, agents and inference: customers bring their own code and data, and Nodus places the job on matched GPU or CPU capacity, runs it, follows logs and recovers from saved checkpoints; it also serves hosted models through an OpenAI-compatible inference API in beta, and can be driven from coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor; the security page says it is in pilot.

Selected offerings — the AI products recorded here, not the vendor's full catalogue.

• Nodus Infrastructure service Sold on its own

  Compute platform for AI workloads: runs the customer's container for training, post-training, LoRA fine-tuning, agent sandboxes, evaluations and reinforcement-learning environments on matched GPUs and CPUs, recovers from saved checkpoints, keeps project files between sessions with VS Code, Jupyter and SSH access, offers an OpenAI-compatible inference API in beta, and lets Claude Code, Codex or Cursor submit jobs with a spending limit; GPU and CPU hourly prices are published, for example $2.600 an hour for an H100 SXM.
