lambda-labs

lambda-labs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nobodyohm-web/Thot. It costs 13 tokens per session (3,256 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of lambda-labs, MIT.

A cloud service that provides dedicated GPU machines for machine-learning work, with direct SSH access and storage that can persist between sessions. SSH is a way to control a remote machine from a terminal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run training for hours or days, keep datasets and checkpoints across restarts, and operate multi-GPU clusters with common machine-learning software preinstalled.
Why use it?
It provides a stable environment for long training jobs and multi-GPU work without buying or maintaining the hardware yourself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

lambda-labs scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Lambda Labs GPU Cloud

Guide to running ML workloads on Lambda Labs GPU cloud with on-demand instances and 1-Click Clusters.

When to use Lambda Labs

Use Lambda Labs when:

  • Need dedicated GPU instances with full SSH access
  • Running long training jobs (hours to days)
  • Want simple pricing with no egress fees
  • Need persistent storage across sessions
  • Require high-performance multi-node clusters (16-512 GPUs)
  • Want pre-installed ML stack (Lambda Stack with PyTorch, CUDA, NCCL)

Key features:

  • GPU variety: B200, H100, GH200, A100, A10, A6000, V100
  • Lambda Stack: Pre-installed PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, cuDNN, NCCL
  • Persistent filesystems: Keep data across instance restarts
  • 1-Click Clusters: 16-512 GPU Slurm clusters with InfiniBand
  • Simple pricing: Pay-per-minute, no egress fees
  • Global regions: 12+ regions worldwide

Use alternatives instead:

  • Modal: For serverless, auto-scaling workloads
  • SkyPilot: For multi-cloud orchestration and cost optimization
  • RunPod: For cheaper spot instances and serverless endpoints
  • Vast.ai: For GPU marketplace with lowest prices

Quick start

Account setup

  1. Create account at https://lambda.ai
  2. Add payment method
  3. Generate API key from dashboard
  4. Add SSH key (required before launching instances)

Launch via console

  1. Go to https://cloud.lambda.ai/instances
  2. Click "Launch instance"
  3. Select GPU type and region
  4. Choose SSH key

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
