PricingNot given Credit-based pricing: €0.039 per vCPU-hour (active only), €0.012 per GiB-hour for RAM (memory in use), €0.00008 per GiB-hour for disk (written space only). New accounts receive €30 in free credits. A typical 2 vCPU / 8 GiB machine costs approximately €0.03 per hour while running (with 10% vCPU activ
Key features
  • Distributed simulation across MPI ranks
  • Multi-backend execution (CPU, GPU, Browser, MPI)
  • AtlasIR typed intermediate representation
  • Native forward and reverse execution for training
  • Retains Brian2 modelling interface
  • GPU execution on Apple Metal and NVIDIA CUDA
  • WebAssembly browser execution
  • CPU reference and AOT compilation
  • Hardware-isolated Linux VMs with persistent state between sessions
  • Snapshots and checkpoints for machine state management
  • Automatic hibernation after 4 hours idle, paying for disk only
  • Pre-installed tools: Claude Code, Docker, Node, Python, Go, git, Chrome, ffmpeg, nginx
  • Public HTTPS URL per machine with custom domain support
  • Egress allowlist for network security and isolation
  • CLI, API, Python and TypeScript SDKs for automation
  • Integration with GitHub, Linear and Slack across all machines
What makes it different
  • Distributed execution without sacrificing Brian2's familiar modelling interface
  • Open-source with published arXiv paper and reproduction materials
  • Explicit, verifiable execution plans via AtlasIR
  • Hardware-isolated real VMs instead of containers, with full kernel isolation
  • Persistent machines remember running processes and state between disconnects
  • Pay only for active resources used, not provisioned size
  • Free self-hosting up to 16 vCPUs on your own infrastructure
