GPU Kitchen Terms of Use

Version 1.2 — October 2026

GPU Kitchen is a service operated by Byterain, SIREN 109694372 (see the legal notice). These terms cover the gpu.kitchen online services; the software you install on your own machines is governed by the GPU Kitchen Community License or the GPU Kitchen Enterprise License, depending on your edition.

1. The software: proprietary, freemium

GPU Kitchen is proprietary software distributed in binary and container-image form under the GPU Kitchen Community License (an end-user license agreement shipped with the software). Nothing is open source: access to the software or to the free tier does not grant any right to copy, modify, redistribute or sublicense it.

Free tier — the community edition is free of charge for installations of up to 6 GPUk of GPU power and 5 people, across all nodes (controller and workers combined). One RTX 3090 counts as 1 GPUk; the scale is on the pricing page. Every feature listed there as included in every plan, such as accounts, teams and budgets, is part of the free tier.
Paid license — going beyond either limit, or using a feature the pricing page reserves to Studio or Enterprise, requires the enterprise edition under the GPU Kitchen Enterprise License and a commercial agreement. It is priced on the GPUk of GPU power and the people of the installation, and verified online; air-gapped enterprise installations are not supported.

2. Beta access

GPU Kitchen is in beta. Beta access is provided free of charge, "as is", for evaluation and early use; features, limits and these terms may change before general availability, and accounts or installations may be reset. Paid plans are not yet active.

A beta installation checks the time with api.gpu.kitchen when it starts, then about twice a day. It needs this access to run: after half a day without an answer, it warns in the app; after a day, it pauses until api.gpu.kitchen answers again. Beta releases stop working on January 20, 2027. They then remove their own programs and keep your data, models and settings. Install a later release to continue.

3. Accounts and acceptable use

You are responsible for your account credentials and for what runs on your hardware.
Apart from the beta time check and the daily update check, an installation sends data to GPU Kitchen only once your organization registers it with an account. On the free tier, its benchmark results then join the community data; recipes you choose to publish appear under your profile. Do not share results you do not have the right to publish. The privacy policy lists what is shared.
Do not abuse the online services (scraping, credential attacks, disruption) and do not use them to distribute unlawful content.
Byterain may suspend accounts that breach these terms; you can stop using the service and delete your account yourself at any time from your account page.

4. Warranty and liability

During the beta the services and the software are provided without warranty of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. The software drives GPU hardware and runs third-party inference engines under your responsibility. Byterain's liability is limited as set out in the software license; nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

5. Law and contact

These terms are governed by French law; disputes go to the competent courts of Toulouse, France, subject to mandatory consumer rules. Questions: hello@gpu.kitchen.
