Solo AI studio: per-minute GPU rentals rendered a 328-frame Blender shot for ~$1

A developer describes his one-person AI studio workflow: his Grok Bot runs on a GPU-less cloud machine, so it rents GPUs by the minute for heavy renders. A cinematic Blender shot of the pyramids — 328 frames, 125,000 objects, full atmospheric haze — took 1 hour of rented compute for about $1 instead of 30 hours locally. He also wired in ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions for heavy coding and research while Grok Bot coordinates everything, with every idea bounced across multiple models before production. His takeaway: output that once required a studio building, payroll, and years of trust now takes a laptop and taste.
