Nodes — renting a Workstation

Nodes is where you rent a render machine. Open it with 🖥️ Nodes in the main menu.

How it works in a nutshell

You pick a configuration (GPU, count, RAM, software), the bot spins up a personal Workstation on our servers in ~5–10 minutes (single-GPU rigs are the fastest), and you connect to it right from Telegram — a fullscreen stream with mouse, keyboard and audio. Billing is per-minute, charged from your balance in real time.

Step by step: from click to render

🖥️ Nodes → the «Rent a Workstation» card opens.
GPU: pick a model — RTX 3090, RTX 4090 or RTX 5090.
Count: 2×, 3×, 4×, 6×, 8× (available options depend on the model).
RAM: Standard (64 GB), Pro (128 GB), Ultra (256 GB) or Ultra (384 GB).
Software: C4D + Octane, C4D + Redshift, Blender, Houdini or Clean Windows (a bare OS without any preinstalled software). Versions are always up to date — we rebuild the presets on every release, so you always get the latest.
Payment source: personal balance or team balance (if you're in a team and it has funds).
Confirmation: the bot shows the final configuration and price $X.XX/hr. Tap Start session.
Provisioning: the bot deploys the Workstation (see Provisioning below).
Ready: you get a «Your node is ready» notification. Tap Start session — access opens. The first 5 minutes of waiting are free; after that your prepaid 30-minute window starts counting even before you connect. If you never start, the Workstation is torn down after 35 minutes (see the Provisioning section below).

Prices (per hour)

RTX 3090 — 2× — $5/hr — 3× — $7/hr — 4× — $8/hr

RTX 4090 — 2× — $8/hr — 4× — $14/hr — 6× — $20/hr — 8× — $26/hr

RTX 5090 — 2× — $10/hr — 4× — $18/hr — 6× — $26/hr — 8× — $34/hr

Pro and Ultra RAM tiers cost more than the base — the exact price for your configuration shows on the button. Billing is per-minute.

Availability and waitlist

The buttons for choosing a configuration have indicators:

🟢 — available, you can rent right now.
🔴 — currently busy, opens the waitlist.
🔔 — you're already subscribed to this config.

Tap a 🔴 → the bot asks «Notify when it's free?» → subscribe. The button for that config is marked with a 🔔 so you can see your subscription is active. When the config becomes available, you get a push with a 🚀 Launch now button — tap it and go straight to rental, no need to open the menu.

Unsubscribe: tap the same 🔔 button — the bot will offer to cancel the subscription.

Provisioning

After you confirm, the bot starts deploying your Workstation on our servers. This takes about 5 minutes for single-GPU rigs and up to ~10 for multi-GPU — a dedicated machine is created, every GPU is attached and verified, Windows and the chosen software are set up, and your Google Drive is mounted.

A 🚀 Provisioning your workstation card shows up in the chat with your configuration, the price, and the progress by step:

Preparing render environment — initial setup.
Allocating GPU resources — GPU allocation.
Configuring your node — system configuration.
Installing software — installation of the chosen software (Blender / C4D / Houdini). If you picked Clean Windows, this step is shorter.
Running final checks — final checks.

The card updates in real time with an animation — you can see which step the bot is on.

You can cancel provisioning with the ✖ Close button on the card. No money is charged — billing starts only when you tap Start session on the «Your node is ready» card.

When everything is ready, a Your node is ready card appears with a Start session button. The first 5 minutes of waiting are free. After that your prepaid 30-minute window starts counting even if you haven't connected yet, and if you never tap Start, the Workstation is automatically torn down after 35 minutes. This is a safeguard against accidental provisioning: a reserved machine shouldn't sit idle while other people are waiting in line.

If provisioning doesn't finish within a reasonable time or fails — the bot will let you know, no charges either. You can try again or reach out to support.

Active session

Once the session starts, a pinned 🟢 Active session card appears in the chat. On it:

Configuration and price
Elapsed — how long the session has been running
Accrued — how much has been charged so far
Effective balance — what's left on your balance if you stop right now
Estimated remaining time at the current balance
Drive sync status — whether Google Drive is up to date or a transfer is in progress
Render status — whether a render is currently running on the Workstation

Buttons:

🖥️ Open Remote Control — opens the Workstation right in Telegram: fullscreen stream, mouse, keyboard, audio.
⏹ Stop rental — stops the session. Asks for confirmation. After stopping, the Workstation is destroyed and the final amount is charged.

The card refreshes every minute.

Multiple sessions at once

You can keep up to 3 active sessions in parallel. Each is a separate Workstation, its own card, its own buttons. The number is shown in the title: Active session #1, #2, #3.

Auto-stop when your balance runs out

If your balance hits zero and you don't top up within 5 minutes — the session is stopped automatically. The Workstation is destroyed, but any files you saved to Google Drive stay with you (Drive syncs in real time).
