More in the main FAQ.

How much does it cost to rent an L40S?
As of 31 Oct 2026, 17:41 UTC, the lowest price for the NVIDIA L40S on Arrakis is $0.44 per GPU-hour, with 46 GPUs available on 14 machines. You pay the hourly price shown when you rent, from a prepaid balance. A machine bills from start to removal, and a started hour counts as a full hour.
Can an AI agent rent the L40S on Arrakis?
Yes. Give the agent a spend-capped token and connect it over MCP or the REST API. It can search for an L40S, rent it for a set number of hours, and shut it down, and it cannot spend past its cap.
Which L40S configurations can I rent?
It depends on live supply. Each listing shows the exact model, memory, GPU count, CPU and RAM, country and region, and a reliability score, so you can choose the machine that fits.
Do I get root access?
Yes. You SSH in as root and can run any Docker image, with your own SSH keys and optional volumes for data.
