I got annoyed at paying for idle cloud GPUs or fighting for inventory, so I built a system that does the searching for me.
Summon is a system that treats cloud GPU workers as disposable: users request compute, spin up a worker, attach a cached model, run inference via llama.cpp, then destroy the GPU to avoid idle costs - cutting time-to-inference on GCP from zero to an L4 serving a model in ~90 seconds. The author is now building a control layer to auto-discover and hunt for available GPU capacity in GCP zones, which can advertise L4 support while having none in stock.

score
score 5 out of 10. 0-10: how dense the facts are, multiplied by how much you can do with them after reading. 8+ means the topic's evidence bar is met: benchmarks and availability for a new model, amount and investors for a funding round, revenue figures for a solo-money story. Below 5 an item does not enter the digest. A press release scores 3 or less, a reprint loses 2, anything older than 14 days loses 1, a headline that misleads loses 3.
