This guide focuses on the Autopilot cluster mode, walking through the four-step setup: deploying an Autopilot cluster, creating custom ComputeClass configurations for GPU (B200) and TPU (v6e) workloads, defining ResourceClaimTemplates for RDMA and non-RDMA networking, and deploying workloads that reference both the ComputeClass and ResourceClaimTemplate. A complete example deploys Gemma 4 31B via vLLM on NVIDIA B200 GPUs with RDMA networking, showing how Autopilot automatically provisions the correct node type and configures networking based on the declared resources. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
