Runpod SDK apps (Flash)

For an explicit Dockerfile/template project request, use runpod-build-template. Do not replace that deliverable with Flash unless the user chooses its code-first workflow.

Write Python locally, run it on remote Runpod GPUs/CPUs with rp flash dev, then rp flash deploy to ship. Flash is part of the runpod package (2.0): one SDK, one rp CLI, one login. The standalone runpod-flash package is deprecated and gets no fixes after October 29, 2026.

rp --help and rp flash <command> --help are authoritative for the command surface. This skill is the mental model, the decision rules, and the gotchas that help output does not carry. Confirm the installed version with pip show runpod before concluding a command or parameter is unavailable.

Which SDK is this project on?

Check before writing code. The two APIs do not mix.
