Workflow

Step 1: Check What's Running

SSH server:

ssh <server> "screen -ls"

Vast.ai instance (read ssh_host, ssh_port from vast-instances.json):

ssh -p <PORT> root@<HOST> "screen -ls"

Also check vast.ai instance status:

vastai show instances

Modal (when gpu: modal in CLAUDE.md):

modal app list         # List running/recent apps
modal app logs <app>   # Stream logs from a running app

Modal apps auto-terminate when done — if it's not in the list, it already finished. Check results via modal volume ls <volume> or local output.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
