batch.
Thousands of jobs, one bill.
Batch mode runs your whole queue across whatever nodes are free, then reports one consolidated invoice. It's how render farms and model sweeps work here.
mesh batch submit --jobs sweep.yaml --gpu 4090 --max $40 # → 1,240 jobs queued · 9,811 nodes eligible # → done in 41m · settled $18.73
when to batch
Hyperparameter sweeps, frame renders, embeddings, evals — anything embarrassingly parallel. You pay for wall-clock, not for idle capacity you reserved but didn't use.
