HOW IT WORKS

Pay for GPU time you use.
Not build time.

Purple runs setup, builds, and tests on fast CPU, then meters GPU acceleration only when your job calls for it.

01
⌁

GitHub sends the job

The App listens only for jobs carrying a purple-* label and records an idempotent queue event.

02
◇

An idle node claims it

A cloud node leases the oldest compatible job and receives a GitHub JIT configuration valid for that runner only.

03
↯

The runner disappears

The ephemeral runner executes one job, streams logs to GitHub, cleans its workspace, and deregisters automatically.

PRICING PREVIEW

Choose the GPU you need
for your Actions.

CPU time and GPU time are metered separately. Every job pays the CPU runner rate; the selected GPU rate is added only while accelerated work runs.
