RunSnack is a tool that allows users to share GPU compute directly with others through a single link, eliminating the need for accounts or cloud platforms. It targets ML researchers and students who need short-term access to hardware like A100s or 4090s without traditional infrastructure.

  • Hosts run a script to generate a shareable link for their GPU.
  • Renters open the link in a browser to access an instant xterm.js terminal with GPU access.
  • Compute runs inside a sandboxed Docker container with read-only, privilege-dropped settings.
  • Data transfer uses WebRTC for encrypted, peer-to-peer communication without central server visibility.
  • The marketplace is organic, allowing users to negotiate prices directly via Discord or other channels.
