name	orx-instances
description	Create standalone OpenResearch compute instances with `orx instance create`. Use when the user wants a persistent machine for manual or ad-hoc work rather than an experiment run.

Standalone instances

Provision a persistent instance in an organization when the user wants to SSH in and work manually. Experiment runs use orx exp run instead.

orx instance create <orgId> --gpu H100_SXM --count 1 [--disk 100]
orx instance create <orgId> --gpu H100_SXM --provider runpod
orx instance create <orgId> --cpu cpu5g --vcpus 8

• <orgId> comes from orx orgs.
• Choose exactly one of --gpu or --cpu.
• --count and --disk apply to GPU instances; --vcpus applies to CPU.
• Omitting --provider chooses the cheapest matching offer; pass it to pin a provider.
• Provisioning is asynchronous. The command prints the instance id and status; its SSH host appears when the machine becomes ready.
