What git hosting solutions does Archimedes AI support? Archimedes AI supports any publicly reachable and ssh enabled git repository, including properly configured self hosted GitLab instances.
How does Archimedes AI authenticate with my git repository? To authenticated Archimedes AI with your git repository, add the Archimedes AI public SSH to your git repository with read and write access. The Archimedes AI team will commit and push their changes to a new job specific branch.
How do I obtain the public Archimedes AI git SSH key? To view the public Archimedes AI git SSH key, press the 'VIEW ARCHIMEDES AI SSH PUBLIC KEY' button on the create job tab of the Archimedes AI console. By adding the Archimedes AI public SSH key to your git repository, you enable the Archimedes AI agent team secure and accountable access to your code.
How much time does an Archimedes AI job take to complete? Archimedes AI job runtime varies due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, prompt quality, prompt complexity, project size, code base quality, project complexity and overall Archimedes AI platform load. You could expect a well qualified Archimedes AI job to take an hour or less.
How is Archimedes AI usage billed? Archimedes AI usage is billed per millisecond of consumed GPU compute time, at a rate of $1.00(USD) per hour for the default Archimedes AI billing schedule. View your current Archimedes AI billing schedule on your AI Summary portal page. To inquire about or request changes to your Archimedes AI billing schedule, please submit a ticket through the Chicago AI support portal.
Why was I billed for less compute time than my Archimedes AI job ran for? Archimedes AI usage is only billed against actual consumed GPU compute time, so you are not billed for any time your Archimedes AI team spends using tools, waiting for GPU availability or performing non-GPU compute based tasks.
Why didn't my completed Archimedes AI job produce any changes? This typically happens when the Archimedes AI agents don't understand the assigned tasks contained in the prompt. Please try to update or rewrite your Archimedes AI prompt to be more explicit, concise and direct. Archimedes AI prompts should leave as little to the imagination as possible. If problems persist, please submit a ticket at the Chicago AI support portal.
