Sign Up

Create a free machine.dev account to access GPU and CPU runners for GitHub Actions. New accounts get $10 of free GPU time. No charge, no commitment.

machine.dev is open to everyone. Sign up to start running GitHub Actions jobs on GPU and CPU runners billed by the minute in US dollars.

Free tier

Non-paying teams can run one job at a time, with a 30-minute limit per job. Buying compute or subscribing removes the 30-minute limit. Promotional grants alone do not count as a purchase. See Billing & limits for paid concurrency limits.

New accounts receive $10 of free compute when you sign up. At spot rates that’s roughly:

  • ~63 hours of T4G GPU time (from $0.00261/min)
  • ~22 hours of T4 GPU time (from $0.00744/min)
  • ~37 hours of L4 GPU time (from $0.00448/min)
  • ~140 hours of CPU time on a 4-vCPU ARM runner (from $0.00119/min)

How to sign up

  1. Create an account at app.machine.dev/signup
  2. Sign in with your GitHub account
  3. Install the Machine Provisioner GitHub App on your account or organization
  4. Pick the repositories you want machine.dev to run jobs for
  5. Add runs-on: machine/gpu=t4g to a workflow and push

That’s it. The $10 balance is applied automatically. Your first runs draw it down at the same per-minute rate as paid usage.
