Run Your First Job

Step-by-step guide to launching your first Skiv AI task in minutes.

Get Set Up. Launch a Task. Tap into Decentralized Compute.

Running your first compute job on Skiv AI takes just a few steps — no DevOps, no hardware headaches, no friction. Whether you're training a model, generating media or running a data batch, here's how to get started in minutes.

🧭 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Visit the Skiv AI Platform

2. Connect Your Wallet

Click “Connect Wallet” to log in securely using MetaMask or any Web3-compatible wallet. All jobs are managed on-chain for transparency.

3. Browse Available Nodes

View live GPU nodes by region, specs, VRAM and current availability. Use filters to match the workload you’re running — from small inference to multi-GPU training.

4. Set Job Duration

Choose how long your job should run:

• Hourly

• Daily

• Fixed duration (custom)

This lets you manage costs and match execution windows to your project’s timeline.

5. Review Pricing & Confirm

Once you've selected your node and duration, review the summary — including GPU specs, rate and estimated total. Confirm and approve the transaction using ETH or $SKAI.

6. Monitor Job Readiness

Once payment is confirmed, your task is queued and assigned. Most nodes are ready within 1–3 minutes. You'll see real-time provisioning updates.

7. Retrieve Access Credentials

Click on your job in My Jobs to access credentials and runtime instructions. You’ll receive:

• SSH login info (if applicable)

• Docker/Jupyter access commands

• API keys (for specific endpoints)

8. Start Computing

Open your terminal or notebook interface and plug in the credentials provided. You’re now running on decentralized infrastructure — fully isolated and powered by Skiv AI nodes.

🧠 Tips for First-Time Users

• Want to test small? Choose an RTX 3060 for inference or light workloads.

• Running Stable Diffusion or LLMs? Use nodes with 24GB+ VRAM (e.g. 3090, A5000).

• All jobs are ephemeral — don’t forget to back up output data before the job ends.

• For long-running tasks, consider scheduling a backup or checkpoint mid-run.

Skiv AI is built to help you move fast. No cloud dashboards, no billing complexity, no manual provisioning. Just choose a node, pay and go.

Welcome to the compute layer without friction.
