What is episode?
An episode is one environment's complete life, fork, execute, terminate, and it is the unit a quote and a spend cap are written against.
The term comes from reinforcement learning, and the shape is the same in agentic evaluation: an environment is created, an agent works in it, the result is scored, the environment is destroyed.
Promigence meters by the second, like the rest of the market, but it prices a run by the episode before you start it. promigence run quote multiplies the number of episodes by what each can cost at most, and --cap refuses a run that would go past your ceiling. So you get a per-second bill with a number you agreed to first.
This is one of the terms in the Promigence glossary.
Run your own workload on it, free
Send a repo and the command you run against it, whatever that is: an eval suite, an RL rollout, a CI job, a queue of coding tasks. We build the environment once, run it a thousand times, and send back the timings, the failures and an exact price. Free, once, on your real workload.
- 1,000 runs of your own command, on your own repo
- What each one cost in wall clock, and anything that failed
- Whether a failure was your code or the environment
- An exact price for your real volume
