What is Cloudy?
A research tool that runs your ML experiments on cloud GPUs. You describe what you want to find out and attach your code; Cloudy plans the experiments, runs them, reads the results, and decides what to try next, for hours or days. You get back the code, results, and a written report.
Who is it for?
ML engineers, mostly at startups, who train or fine-tune models and have more experiments to run than time to run them. You don’t need your own GPUs or a research team.
How is this different from asking a chatbot or coding agent?
Cloudy uses the same models and can even run on your Claude Code or Codex plan; the difference is what surrounds them. A coding agent, even in auto mode, works on your machine or a CPU sandbox and ends its turn once the task looks done. Cloudy brings its own cloud GPUs and treats your goal as a research question: run an experiment, measure, decide what to try next, for hours or days until your criteria are met or the time limit is reached.
What do I get back?
The code, logs, measurements, plots, and checkpoints from every experiment, plus a written report and the acceptance record showing which criteria were met and the evidence for each. Negative results are kept too: knowing an idea didn’t work is still a result.
Can I use my own code and data?
Yes. Attach files in the app or run cloudy new ./your-project from the CLI to upload a local folder. Cloudy can also clone repositories and download datasets inside its cloud environment. Keep secrets and environment files out of uploads.
How does auto-pause work?
Choose how long research should run, from one minute to seven days. When the time is used up, Cloudy saves a checkpoint and shuts down compute. Paused time doesn’t count. You can also pause manually. The duration is a time limit, not a dollar spending cap.
Can I pick up where I left off?
Yes. Resume in the same conversation with your saved files, results, and instructions. Cloudy continues from the last checkpoint. Running processes don’t stay alive while paused.
Can I use my Claude or ChatGPT plan?
Yes. Connect Claude Code or Codex and the research model runs on that plan, with no extra Cloudy token charge. If the provider reports you’ve hit your limit, Cloudy pauses rather than switching to Cloudy credits. You can also run entirely on Cloudy credits.
What do I pay for?
Compute by the millisecond, web search at $0.007 per request, storage at $0.09 per GiB-month, and model usage, either through your connected account or with Cloudy credits. Everything is charged at provider list price from prepaid credits your team shares; there’s no subscription. Live research summaries are always included, free. See pricing for the breakdown.
