GPU Marketplace
Introducing the GPU Marketplace, a new way to lease high-performance GPUs for your needs:
Navigate to the Marketplace tab via the top navigation bar in the Console App.
Browse a list of GPUs such as H100 and RTX4090, available in multiple quantities (2x, 4x, 8x). Each GPU entry displays:
GPU Name
Quantity
Region
Price per GPU per hour
Filter options available to customize your search.
Select your preferred template (e.g., Jupyter, Ollama) and lease duration based on your requirements.
View the total lease amount, your wallet balance, and confirm the order.
Lease creation is seamless — within a minute, you’ll be redirected to the Lease Details page to:
Check deployed services
View logs
Access port mapping and connection URLs
Updated Fizz App UI
We’ve overhauled the Fizz App UI to provide better analytics and usability:
Analytics Dashboard:
Visualize key metrics on the homepage:
Total GPU, MAC chips, CPU, RAM, and storage
Total unique regions
Track node growth and FN points over time via a line graph.
Explore the new Fizz Network Map that shows the distribution of Fizz nodes across regions.
Leaderboard Performance Optimizations:
Faster loading times for the leaderboard.
Real-time updates every 30 minutes to ensure the latest information is displayed.
New Features:
Bandwidth Meter UI to monitor Fizz bandwidth usage.
Resource Utilization Table showing total, utilized, and claimed GPU, CPU, RAM, and storage.
Recommended Gateway Highlight:
Automatically suggests a gateway based on proximity.
Restricts gateways with more than 1,000 Fizz nodes during registration or updates.
Protocol Improvements
New Functionalities:
Fizz Slark:
- Introduced slashing of rewards for Fizz nodes with uptime < 50% or running a version earlier than v1.1.2.
Lease Logs Streaming:
- Enhanced to handle newline and return characters. Logs now update the same line instead of duplicating entries.
Autoupgrade for Fizz nodes, so manual upgrades are needed only for major releases.
Independent Gateway Setup:
Gateway can now run independently without requiring a provider. Setup using CLI commands is supported.
Dashboard Additions:
Fizz dashboards now include:
Architecture (amd64, etc.)
CUDA version
NVIDIA driver version
New ICL Attributes:
desired_fizz and desired_provider: Specify deployments on particular Fizz nodes or providers. Detailed Guide available here.
Region attribute is now optional, allowing matchmaking across any region.
Matchmaking Enhancements:
Fizz token consideration in matchmaking when deployment mode is Fizz, replacing provider-accepted tokens.
Deployment Capabilities:
use_public_port: true
: Use tunnel ports for public exposure (e.g., for Ray clusters or head nodes). This feature is only available in Fizz deployments.Expanded support for pull_policy and credentials in the Console App.
