Runpod Flash

Write code locally, iterate with flash dev — it runs your functions on remote Runpod GPUs/CPUs with hot-reload and live worker logs — then flash deploy to ship. Endpoint handles provisioning.

runpod-flash releases on its own cadence, so flash --help and 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-flash before concluding a subcommand or flag is unavailable.

Worked examples first for anything multi-step. Flash appears in verified end-to-end paths — 03 variant B (whisper endpoint via flash) and 08 (fine-tune → serve); the full index is runpod/golden-paths/README.md. Open the matching path before planning a deploy — it carries the ordering and the cost cleanup this skill only summarizes.

Load on demand — this skill keeps the mental model + gotchas inline; details live in reference/:
