Thunder Compute recently launched!
"Scale your instance from a CPU-only dev machine to a GPU cluster with one command"
Founded by Carl Peterson & Brian Model
Hi everyone, meet Carl and Brian, aka the team behind Thunder Compute.
Before Thunder Compute, Carl was a Management Consultant at Bain & Company, and Brian was a Quantitative Developer at Citadel Securities. Carl and Brian met at Georgia Tech and have been close friends for over 6 years.
With Thunder Compute, run your current workload on cloud GPUs with one line of code. You can develop without paying for a GPU and then instantly connect your environment to as many GPUs as you need to move to production.

Problem
Developers spend hours configuring cloud platforms to meet the ever-changing needs of their projects. Today’s cloud platforms trade-off between:
- Scalability
- Cost
- Simplicity
Solution
Thunder Compute is a flexible cloud environment that adapts to the needs of any project with a single command, for example:
Using your local filesystem?
$ tnr start --sync
Scaling to 50 A100 GPUs?
$ tnr device A100 -n 50
Running a Jupyter Notebook?
$ notebook
Developing without a GPU?
$ tnr device cpu
All of this is available at industry-leading prices and can be set up in minutes - just pip install tnr.
The innovation
Think VMware for GPUs: Thunder Compute tricks your computer into thinking it’s attached to a GPU, which actually sits across a network. This means that CPU-only machines can behave exactly as if they have dedicated GPUs, while the physical GPUs are actually shared among several machines.
The offer
To help Thunder Computer test its systems at scale, the founders are giving free open beta access to NVIDIA T4 instances. Try Thunder Compute today. All they ask in return is that you please report any bugs. 🙂
