Why people look past Hyperbolic for this

The checkpoint is the cheap part to move; the built environment, the dataset cache and the exact CUDA and framework versions around it are what take a day to rebuild. That is exactly the gap Hyperbolic does not close: Hyperbolic pairs open-model inference with rentable GPU capacity, aimed at developers who want both from one vendor. We do not host open models for you: our jobs run a version of a setup you built yourself, not a catalogue you pick a model from.

To be fair, Hyperbolic's real strength is real: Hosted open-model inference alongside GPU rental, from a single account.

How you run it here today

Run it today as a Pod: the console's own box workload card preselects the right template for this job.

Restoring an environment requires a snapshot that already exists. Stopping a deployment yourself captures it on the way out, so you can bring it back later on any provider. A provider-side termination is different: it is only recoverable if you had already switched automated snapshots on for that deployment, and it costs you the work since the last one. Automated snapshots are opt-in, nothing runs until you start it, and with none running there is nothing to restore.
