machine0 (YC S26) Launches Persistent CPU and GPU VMs with CLI Management
Key points
- Persistent CPU and GPU VMs managed via CLI.
- Offers dedicated resources, static IPs, and per-minute billing.
- Supports reproducible builds with NixOS and Ubuntu.
- Features VM suspension, snapshots, and global regions.
Persistent Virtual Machines for Compute-Heavy Tasks
machine0 has introduced persistent virtual machines (VMs) that remain active until explicitly stopped or suspended. These VMs are designed for compute-heavy workloads, offering configurations with 1 to 60 vCPUs and up to 240 GB RAM. Optional GPUs, including H100, H200, L40S, MI300X, and RTX 4000/6000 Ada, are available for specialized tasks.
CLI-Driven Management and Reproducible Builds
The service emphasizes command-line interface (CLI) management, allowing all operations to be performed via CLI commands. This approach supports programmatic control by agents through a remote MCP server. machine0 also facilitates reproducible builds using NixOS flakes or Ubuntu with Ansible, ensuring deterministic environments and one-command rollbacks.
Flexible Pricing and Global Availability
machine0 operates on a pay-as-you-go model with per-minute billing, and pricing is consistent across all regions. Users can suspend VMs to stop billing, paying only for image storage during suspension. The service is available in five regions: US East, US West, UK, EU, and Asia, with every VM receiving a public static IP and HTTPS endpoint.
Advanced Features for Performance and Integration
The platform includes features like VM suspension, snapshot creation, and the ability to create 'golden images' for cloning. It also supports injecting MCP servers, credentials, prompts, and environment variables into VMs using profiles, aiding integration with tools like Claude Code and Codex. Dedicated vCPUs with NVMe storage are available for higher disk IOPS and single-thread performance.
