A look at NVIDIA Brev, a GPU developer platform that pulls instances from multiple cloud providers (or local machines) into one console, with VMs preloaded with CUDA, Python, Docker, Jupyter, and NetBird.
- Brev Connect adds your own Linux box to the same console — e.g., an old gaming PC with an RTX 3090 (24GB), SSH'd from another network via brev shell.
- Demo: running Ollama with qwen2.5-coder:14b on the old PC to build a playable snake game, compared against a 32b model on a cloud L40s.
- Brev's CLI is open source, revealing it's built on the open-source mesh VPN NetBird.
