One CLI to search, provision, and manage cloud GPUs across 10 providers
Project description
One CLI to rule all GPU clouds.
Search pricing across 10 providers, spin up a GPU in seconds, sync your workspace, and track every dollar.
$ swm gpus -g h200 --max-price 4

Install
# macOS (Homebrew)
brew tap swm-gpu/swm && brew install swm
# Python (3.11+)
pipx install swm
# From source
git clone https://github.com/swm-gpu/swm.git && cd swm && pip install -e .
Quick Start
# 1. Add your API key
swm config set runpod.api_key <your-key>
# 2. Find a GPU
swm gpus -g h200
# 3. Create a pod
swm pod create -p runpod -g h200 -n my-session
# 4. Install a framework
swm setup install vllm runpod:<id>
# 5. Done — saves workspace and terminates
swm pod down runpod:<id>
Or just ask your agent
Don't want to learn the CLI? Drop the SKILL.md into your project and your AI agent manages GPUs for you.
Works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, and any agent that can run shell commands.

Key Features
GPU Search & Provisioning
swm gpus # all GPUs, all providers
swm gpus -g h200 -c 4 # 4×H200 configs
swm gpus --max-price 4 --secure # under $4/hr, certified clouds
swm pod create -p runpod -g h200 -n train
swm pod down runpod:<id> # sync + terminate
Workspace Sync
Your /workspace directory follows you across clouds via S3-compatible storage (Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, Google GCS).
swm sync push runpod:<id> # pod → storage
swm sync pull runpod:<id> # storage → pod
swm sync watch runpod:<id> # auto-push on file changes
Three-tier smart sync: inotify watcher tracks changes, incremental push uploads only what changed, tar mode packs 600k small files into one S3 object.
Frameworks
swm setup install vllm runpod:<id> # vLLM inference server
swm setup install open-webui runpod:<id> # Open WebUI chat interface
swm setup install comfyui runpod:<id> # ComfyUI image generation
swm setup install axolotl runpod:<id> # Axolotl fine-tuning
swm setup install ollama runpod:<id> # Ollama model runner
swm setup install swarmui runpod:<id> # SwarmUI
swm setup install llm-studio runpod:<id> # H2O LLM Studio
Auto-detects GPU count for tensor parallelism, opens SSH tunnels for unexposed ports, probes health endpoints.
Lifecycle Guard
Monitors SSH sessions, GPU utilization, filesystem writes, and active processes. If nothing's happening, it saves your workspace and terminates the pod.
swm guard enable runpod:<id> --policy auto-down --idle 30m
swm guard list
No more $96 overnight H100 bills.
Cost Tracking
swm costs live # running cost right now
swm costs summary # spending breakdown
swm costs reconcile # verify against provider billing APIs
swm costs budget set 100 # $100/month alert
Model Management
swm models search qwen3 # search HuggingFace Hub
swm models pull runpod:<id> Qwen/Qwen3-235B
swm models set runpod:<id> Qwen/Qwen3-235B # hot-swap vLLM model
How It Works
Everything happens over SSH. No agents on the pod. No custom images. No webhooks.
┌──────────┐ SSH ┌─────────────┐ S3 API ┌───────────┐
│ Your Mac │ ───────────────> │ GPU Pod │ ────────────────> │ B2 / S3 │
│ swm │ exec, scp │ (any │ s5cmd sync │ / GCS │
│ │ <─────────────── │ provider) │ <──────────────── │(workspace)│
└──────────┘ └─────────────┘ └───────────┘
Credentials are never stored on the pod. Storage keys are passed as transient environment variables per command.
Security
- SSH key authentication only — no passwords stored anywhere
- No credentials on pods — storage keys passed transiently, never written to disk
- Non-destructive syncs — files are never deleted from your storage bucket
- Secure cloud default —
swm pod createdefaults to SOC 2 / HIPAA certified data centers
