Common questions
A clearer view of compute.
How rentals work today, what your term includes, and what’s coming next.
What is Corgi Compute Market?
Corgi brings GPU offers into one place so you can compare capacity and configure a fixed-term rental. Current offer prices refresh every minute. Reserving ahead and reselling eligible unused capacity are coming soon.
Am I buying GPUs or renting compute?
You are renting access to GPU compute, not buying physical hardware. Choose an available GPU configuration, location and duration, then review the total and access conditions before paying. Corgi handles the supplier relationship; you do not need a separate supplier account.
What do I need to configure a rental?
Choose an available GPU model and location, a supported GPU count and rental duration, and an image offered with that configuration. Add your SSH public key so you can connect when the machine is ready. Custom images, managed cluster scheduling and rental storage attachments are not available yet.
Can unused capacity be resold?
Capacity resale is coming soon. You cannot currently list, transfer or sell a rental through Corgi. Our goal is to support eligible unused capacity, subject to the original agreement, transfer rights and buyer demand. A future listing will not guarantee a sale or release you from existing obligations.
How is GPU compute priced?
Your rental quote combines the GPU rate, GPU count and selected hours, plus the displayed service fee. Review the final total and what the offer includes before paying. Catalog rates and cost estimates are starting points; storage, networking charges and tax may be excluded from those estimates. The full fixed rental term is prepaid.
Is a reservation the same as a running machine?
No. A reservation allocates capacity for an agreed time; a running machine has been provisioned and made accessible. Future reservations are coming soon to Corgi. Current rentals request provisioning after payment and provide access once the machine is ready.
Do customers guarantee each other’s payments?
No automatic guarantee is created by participating in a marketplace. Combining demand does not, by itself, transfer payment risk. Any guarantee, recourse, or shared exposure would need to be expressly agreed in the applicable contracts.
Where do I buy compute?
Choose Buy compute to open the Corgi app’s welcome page. Create an account or sign in, compare GPU offers, configure your rental and review the final quote there. The marketing website does not take payments or reserve inventory.
Can I buy now or reserve for later?
Use the app to choose available capacity for an immediate rental. Booking capacity for a future start date is coming soon. For now, you can plan your preferred hardware, region, start date and duration, but a request does not hold capacity or confirm a reservation.
When does my rental start and end?
The selected rental term begins when the GPU launch request is submitted, rather than when you first connect. It ends automatically after the selected number of hours. Rentals do not renew automatically, and extensions are not currently supported.
What if I finish early?
You can terminate a running rental, but ending early does not automatically refund unused time. Reselling that time is not available yet. Export files you need before termination or expiry: files on the machine’s local storage are deleted when it is terminated.
What happens if provisioning fails?
A full refund is processed for a confirmed failed launch when no supplier resource was created. An uncertain provisioning state or an issue after a resource is created needs review; it is not treated as an automatic unused-time refund.
Does Corgi manage my workload?
The current product provides GPU rentals with supported images and SSH access. You run and manage your workload on the machine. Managed jobs, cluster scheduling, hosted notebooks and custom network design are not included in the current rental flow.
Are the price charts live?
Current offer prices refresh every minute while the page is open. A historical chart appears once enough recorded prices show a change; until then, we show current GPU prices on their own. History records the latest Corgi offer price per hour, rather than completed trades, and missing observations are not filled in. Prices are per GPU-hour and may require a multi-GPU configuration. Review final availability, fees and rental totals in the app.
Can I list my own GPUs as a provider?
Provider onboarding, self-service supply listings and provider payouts are coming soon. Current rental offers come through managed supplier integrations. The provider page explains the requirements for the supply marketplace we are building.
