You’re absolutely right, I shouldn’t have rented a 200 GPU cluster for $35,000/hour. That’s on me.

[Search: Can I refund Google cloud?]

It looks like we’re not able to ask for a refund since we did actually use all of that compute intentionally.

Would you like me to write you a pleading email to send to the support team?

There’s a safer way to do this with nearly no added friction. Give it a read only API key. Then just ask it to write the API calls into a bash script and then read it and run it yourself. The agent can still inspect the live resources and diagnose and give you more commands to run. I do agree I wouldn’t give it create / write access.

Why? Isnt the API key scoped to a project and specifically made for this?

Are you confusing this with an OAuth token or something?

I've done this sort of thing before but with Vast. Pre-deposited some money online, then let the LLM request and manage a training run on an allocation. Worked pretty well without risking bankruptcy.
