About CloudGPU
GPUs and Chinese model APIs on one balance, for developers outside mainland China
CloudGPU (cloudgpu.app) rents GPUs by the minute and runs an OpenAI-compatible gateway for DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax and FLUX. Both draw on one prepaid balance that you can top up by card (Visa / Mastercard, from $5), USDT or bank transfer.
What we are for
A developer in Lagos, Karachi or Jakarta should be able to rent an RTX 5090 or call DeepSeek without a US credit card, a Chinese phone number or a monthly contract. We connect idle GPU capacity in Chinese and Southeast Asian data centres with the people who need it, and take a thin margin on top.
lightbulbHow we work
We are a marketplace, not a data centre. Machines come from partner suppliers and independent hosts. On top we add per-minute billing with refunds for unused time, one-click templates (Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, ComfyUI, LLaMA-Factory), a public HTTPS endpoint for API templates, a watchdog against abuse, and support in English. The same balance pays for model API calls, so a small team gets one bill instead of five.
Priced from the supply side
Consumer cards (RTX 3090, 4090, 5090) are cheap and plentiful in Chinese data centres, so they cost less here than on US clouds. Data-centre cards like the A100 are priced close to US providers, and we say so on the pricing page.
Pay how you can
Visa or Mastercard from $5, USDT (TRC-20), and bank transfer for businesses. Sign up with an email or a Google account. No phone number, no ID, no subscription; unused balance does not expire.
Honest about the trade-offs
Machines are mostly in mainland China, so expect 150 to 250 ms of latency from Europe or the US. Cards such as the H20 and RTX PRO 6000 are available here that most Western clouds do not list. Mining and illegal use get an account banned.
Try it before you top up
Since September 2026 new accounts no longer get a signup credit; instead a first top-up of $10 or more gets a $5 bonus — put in $10, start with $15, enough to run a machine and make plenty of API calls before you decide whether to go further.
