Documented compatibility; coverage may be incomplete. Written in describes implementation, not user-project language support.

GPU environment manager installs from Python packaging and explicitly integrates Ollama and NVIDIA GPU tooling.

### What we like

CLI to help manage and share GPUs. Share GPUs on your machine and manage remote machines. Find available GPUs across a pool of resources and reserve them for your own use. Monitor usage and pipe metrics to Prometheus or Grafana. Access GPUs from containers. Supports over subscribing resources. Integrates with VSCode, Jupyter and other IDEs.

### Tradeoffs

It’s a management tool so needs to be installed across your fleet for everyone to use. Distributed as a Python tool rather than a single binary.
