Runs an open model in the cloud two ways, and makes the user choose with real numbers. Route A is OVHcloud AI Endpoints, an EU-owned per-token API with zero idle cost, for spiky usage and EU jurisdiction. Route B rents one single-tenant RunPod GPU pod in a region the user picks, serving the model on vLLM behind a generated API key, with Open WebUI behind its own login and a URL Claude Code can use directly, for sustained use, unlisted models, or single tenancy. Use when the user says "rent a GP…

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'rented-server-setup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'rented-server-setup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named rented-server-setup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/naveedharri/benai-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '4c7a2ec92f82d467e6a66a99cb5d9491d777806f' -- 'plugins/all-skills/skills/rented-server-setup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/all-skills/skills/rented-server-setup' ~/.agents/skills/'rented-server-setup' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'rented-server-setup' ~/.claude/skills/'rented-server-setup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
