Call it. Or host it.

Ballast is an OpenAI-compatible API on GPUs that people lend out. These pages say what to type, what it costs, what happens when something fails and who can see what.

One callsh
curl https://ballast.outerscope.xyz/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BALLAST_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "qwen3-14b", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

You need a key for that. Sign in to make one. Payments run in Stripe test mode, so no real charge is made.
