Photoroom reclaims ~1,000 idle GPU hours weekly using SkyPilot across Slurm and Kubernetes
skypilot_org · x · 2026-11-12
Photoroom engineer David Briand details how SkyPilot unified their GPU fleet: researchers with an agent now run dataset prep on local RTX 3090/6000 Ada machines, diffusion training on 128 H200s over InfiniBand, and overnight evals on idle inference GPUs. In October alone they reclaimed 1,000 GPU hours per week on inference hardware that used to sit idle, with workloads spilling over to on-demand GPUs from multiple providers — no procurement, no new setup, and the main training cluster stays reserved for large runs.
