Your AI workstation in the cloud
A Linux desktop with a dedicated GPU — in your browser or the native Mac and Windows apps. Your files and environment stay put. Boost to a bigger GPU in one click.
The problem
GPU rental wasn't built for daily work
Tools today make you choose between losing your environment and paying for idle hardware. Hinode does neither.
You lose your setup between sessions.
Hinode keeps your files, environment, and running processes. Close the lid, come back, pick up where you left off.
Raw GPU rental ignores how you actually work.
A persistent desktop built for daily work, not a pod you tear down after every job.
Top GPUs mean long contracts.
Start small and boost to a bigger GPU for the one task that needs it. From $19.99/hour, no contract.
Features
One workstation, always ready
Everything an AI creator needs in a single environment that follows you across devices.
Persistent state + auto-pause
Your workstation hibernates after 15 minutes idle and wakes with everything intact. You don't pay for idle time.
Boost
One click swaps in a bigger GPU for a single training run, billed by the hour. It reverts automatically when you're done.
Hybrid billing
One product, two ways to pay. Monthly subscription if you work daily, hourly pay-as-you-go if you don't. Switch any time.
H.265 60fps streaming
Every tier streams 1440p60 with modern compression. Upgrades buy GPU power, not resolution.
Ready-made templates
The AI Workstation image ships with CUDA, PyTorch, JupyterLab, VS Code, and the common ML libraries. Open it and start.
Browser or native app
Run it in your browser, or get the native Mac and Windows apps — the same live session either way.

How we compare
The same GPU. A full desktop.
Pro is a dedicated L4 — the same card RunPod and Paperspace rent — with more RAM and a full desktop instead of a terminal.

FAQ
Questions, answered
A cloud Linux desktop with a dedicated GPU, in your browser or the native Mac and Windows apps. Your environment persists between sessions, so you never set it up twice.
Pick a monthly subscription or hourly pay-as-you-go at signup, and switch any time. Auto-pause means you're not charged while the workstation is idle.
A one-click upgrade to stronger hardware for a single task. Run a job on a bigger GPU, then drop back to your tier automatically. You pay the hourly delta.
No. Your workstation hibernates after 15 minutes of inactivity and wakes with everything intact.
Any supported browser, plus native Mac and Windows apps. The same live session follows you across all of them.
Chrome, Edge, and other recent Chromium browsers. The client needs WebTransport and WebCodecs, which Safari and Firefox don't fully support yet.
Active workstations run on encrypted volumes; paused ones are snapshotted to object storage. Export your data anytime.
