  • Shadeform launches Flex VMs turning any bare-metal GPU cluster into marketplace-ready cloud capacity turns any bare-metal GPU cluster into single-tenant virtual machines on Shadeform marketplace with fast easy onboarding flow enrolls node in about 30 minutes once approved.
  • With GPU capacity tightening contract terms stretching Flex VMs gives hardware owners way to turn bare-metal GPU node into on-demand cloud each node runs single-tenant VMs with full GPU passthrough no overcommit buyers get dedicated performance while providers stay in control nodes can be pulled back at any time Provider Priority lets providers run own workloads on nodes.
  • Onboarding built to be fast easy hardware owner signs up generates enrollment key runs short script that registers machine using only its IP address and SSH key Shadeform team reviews each submission once node approved enrolled in about 30 minutes replacing what used to require full sales conversation.
  • Once node on platform providers can make it available for resale moment its sitting idle with single click instant needs none of manual coordination other marketplaces require to resell underutilized capacity listing on Spot optional though Shadeform estimates offsetting idle time with Spot can reduce total contract value up to 29% current roster of Flex VMs has achieved more than 95% utilization across Blackwell and Hopper series GPUs.
  • Shadeform The GPU Cloud Marketplace giving teams single platform to provision manage GPU instances across 30+ cloud providers matching customer demand to reserved capacity from 100+ providers teams deploy on-demand reserved capacity with centralized billing support saving up to 90% compared to major hyperscale clouds used by teams including Fal Moises Parasail Tinfoil research groups at Stanford and Berkeley.

Fast and Easy Onboarding Flow That Enrolls Node in 30 Minutes

Flex VMs turns any bare-metal GPU cluster into single-tenant virtual machines on Shadeform marketplace with fast and easy onboarding flow that enrolls node in about 30 minutes once approved. With GPU capacity tightening and contract terms stretching Shadeform launched Flex VMs virtualization layer that can take any GPU cluster regardless of data center and architecture turn it into single-tenant virtual machines and connect it to Shadeform marketplace paired with fast and easy onboarding flow that lets compute providers enroll nodes in about 30 minutes once approved.

Flex VMs gives hardware owners way to turn bare-metal GPU node into on-demand cloud each node runs single-tenant virtual machines with full GPU passthrough and no overcommit so buyers get dedicated performance while providers stay in control nodes can be pulled back at any time and Provider Priority lets providers run their own workloads on their nodes.

Onboarding is built to be fast and easy hardware owner signs up generates enrollment key and runs short script that registers machine using only its IP address and SSH key Shadeform team reviews each submission and once node is approved it is enrolled in about 30 minutes replacing what used to require full sales conversation.

"A lot of platforms say they can resell your underutilized GPUs, but that's usually a manual process on their end. We actually built the mechanism to make it self-serve: once your GPU is onboarded, the minute you don't need it, you can make it available for reselling with the click of a button," said Ronald Ding, CTO of Shadeform.
