All-in-One App Studio: Your Complete Creative AI Toolkit in a Single Container

Creative AI workflows can get pretty complex.

Let's say your project requires image and video generation with 3D modeling and animation, plus you want to include a voiceover track and music in the background. Or maybe you're fine-tuning a custom language model and immediately testing it through an API while generating supporting visuals in ComfyUI.

Normally, projects like these require juggling multiple GPU instances for different AI workflows, which can get complicated and expensive fast.

Vast.ai's All-in-One App Studio offers a unified solution that's elegantly simple: you get a complete creative AI studio with eight powerful applications, a GPU-accelerated remote desktop with KDE Plasma, and Blender, all in a single container.

Everything You Need in One GPU Instance

The All-in-One App Studio template lets you spin up a single GPU instance to generate images and videos, create music, synthesize voices, transcribe audio, train LoRAs, fine-tune and serve LLMs, and work inside a full desktop environment with 3D rendering abilities.

The template includes:

  • ComfyUI for node-based image and video workflows.
  • SD Forge for Stable Diffusion-based image generation.
  • Wan2GP for advanced video generation accessible even to lower-VRAM machines.
  • ACE Step 1.5 for commercial-grade AI music generation with optional vocals.
  • Voicebox for text-to-speech generation, voice cloning, and audio editing.
  • Whisper WebUI for transcribing audio and video files and generating subtitles.
  • Ostris AI Toolkit for LoRAs and model training.
  • Unsloth Studio for fine-tuning and serving LLMs.
  • A full KDE Plasma remote desktop environment with Blender support.

Built for Multimodal AI Workflows

With the All-in-One App Studio template, everything works together seamlessly. You can make the most of your creative pipelines without constantly spinning up and shutting down separate environments.

ComfyUI and SD Forge share the same model directories, so you can download a checkpoint once and use it in both tools. After you train a LoRA in the AI Toolkit, immediately test it in ComfyUI or Forge through a shared model library.

Fine-tune a language model in Unsloth Studio and then instantly interact with it through the chat interface, or connect tools like Open WebUI and SillyTavern via the built-in OpenAI-compatible API. There's no separate deployment step required.

The desktop service provides a full KDE Plasma remote desktop streamed to your browser. Blender comes fully configured with GPU-accelerated Cycles rendering, so you can create and render 3D scenes on powerful cloud hardware. You also get Google Chrome, LibreOffice, VLC media player, and a complete desktop environment for GUI-based workflows.

Having all of these tools in a single container significantly reduces setup headaches and makes experimentation so much easier.

Flexible Workloads Without Wasting VRAM

Start what you need, stop what you don't. That's how All-in-One App Studio handles GPU resources. Nothing auto-starts.

Instead, the template's Instance Portal has a Supervisor tab where you click "Start" next to the applications you want to use at any given time. If you want to work in ComfyUI, start it up with a click. Need the desktop for Blender? Start that, too. Done with video generation? Stop Wan2GP and free up VRAM for another task.

If you want more automation, you can set specific services to auto-start on boot or run your own provisioning script to configure your workspace with custom models or software.

The template is adaptable to your budget, as well. Lower-VRAM GPUs with 8-12 GB can comfortably handle lighter workloads like transcription or voice synthesis, while 24-48 GB instances are better suited for FLUX image generation, LLM fine-tuning, training, and video workflows.

Getting Started with All-in-One App Studio

It only takes a few minutes to get up and running with the All-in-One App Studio template. Launch an instance with the VRAM you need via the Vast.ai console: 24 GB or more for most workflows, or 48 GB or more if you're planning to run multiple applications simultaneously.

Then open the Instance Portal, navigate to the Supervisor tab, and start up the apps you want to use. It's that easy.

One instance. Eight creative AI tools. A full desktop with Blender. Endless possibilities.
