Summary

  • Install runpodctl in the autoresearch Docker image so the agent can spin up multi-GPU pods when experiments need more VRAM
  • Pairs with runpod/autoresearch#2 which adds scaling instructions to program.md

Related: DR-1298

Test plan

  • Build image, verify runpodctl --version works inside the container
  • Launch pod, verify runpodctl is available at /usr/local/bin/runpodctl

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Enables the agent to spin up multi-GPU pods when experiments need
more VRAM. The agent reads program.md which explains how to use it.

P2 Badge Pin runpodctl version in image build

Using the releases/latest download URL makes this image non-deterministic: the same Dockerfile can produce different runpodctl binaries on different days, and a new upstream release can silently break scaling workflows when CI or users rebuild the template. Pinning to a specific release asset (and ideally checksum-verifying it) avoids unexpected behavior regressions in production pods.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

The release asset changed from a raw binary to a .tar.gz archive.
