# Use Instance Templates for AI

> Quickly deploy LLMs (Ollama) and AI image generators (ComfyUI) on Thunder Compute using pre-configured instance templates. Get started fast.

Thunder Compute gives indie developers, researchers and data scientists instant access to **affordable cloud GPUs**. Our pre-configured **instance templates** set up popular AI stacks automatically, so you can **run LLMs** or **generate AI images** in minutes.

## AI Templates on Cheap Cloud GPUs

We currently offer:

* **Ollama** – launches an Ollama server for open-source large language models
* **ComfyUI** – installs ComfyUI for fast AI-image generation workflows
* **Forge Neo** - installs Forge Neo with a basic Stable Diffusion model
* **Unsloth** - installs Unsloth Studio for LLM inference and fine-tuning

## Deploy a Template

1. **Create an instance**

```bash theme={null}
# Launch an Ollama instance
tnr create --template ollama

# Launch ComfyUI
tnr create --template comfy-ui

# Launch Forge Neo
tnr create --template forge-neo

# Launch Unsloth
tnr create --template unsloth
```

2. **Check the instance is ready**

```bash theme={null}
tnr status
```

Wait until the status shows the instance is running before connecting.

3. **Connect to the instance**

```bash theme={null}
tnr connect 0   # replace 0 with your instance ID
```

<Note>
  Port forwarding is handled automatically when you connect. The `-t` flag is unnecessary.
</Note>

4. **Start the service**

```bash theme={null}
# Ollama
start-ollama

# ComfyUI
start-comfyui

# Forge Neo
start-forgeneo

# Unsloth
start-unsloth
```

Required ports forward to your local machine automatically.
