VSCode/Cursor Integration
Integrate Thunder Compute with VSCode/Cursor for development on affordable cloud GPUs. Install the extension, create an instance, and connect your IDE.
Boost your workflow with Thunder Compute’s easy cloud GPUs for development. In a few clicks you can code, train, or render with a full-featured GPU directly inside VSCode or Cursor.
Prerequisites
- An active Thunder Compute account with cloud GPU credits
- Visual Studio Code (or Cursor) installed
Steps
1. Install the Thunder Compute extension
Choose the right marketplace link to add Thunder Compute to your IDE:
2. Create a cloud GPU instance
Open the Thunder Compute tab in the sidebar and press the Create Instance button (plus icon) to spin up a cheap cloud GPU for developing.
3. Connect VSCode to your cloud GPU
Hit Connect next to the instance (double-arrow icon). VSCode now tunnels into the remote GPU so every terminal, debugger, and extension acts like it’s running locally.
You’re all set - develop, test, or fine-tune models with a GPU in the cloud while keeping the familiar feel of your local editor.
