Remote Inference (Beta)

Remote Inference is currently in beta. The feature is free during the beta period, but functionality, availability, and pricing are subject to change.
The Remote Inference feature enables you to run Scope pipelines on cloud-hosted H100 GPUs provided by Daydream, eliminating the need for local GPU hardware. This means Mac users and anyone without a dedicated NVIDIA card can use Scope.
On Windows, only the x64 version is supported - ARM-based Windows (e.g. Snapdragon laptops) is not supported at this time.

Setup

You must sign in from within the Scope desktop app - not from the Daydream website. The sign-in option is located in the app’s Account settings as described below.
1

Open Account settings

Launch the Scope app and navigate to Settings (gear icon, top-right) → Account.
2

Sign in with Daydream

In the Account panel, select Sign in with Daydream. A browser window will open for authentication — once complete, you’ll be returned to the app.
3

Enable Remote Inference

After signing in, enable the Remote Inference toggle.
4

Start generating

Select your desired pipeline and press Play.
Once setup is complete, your Account settings should look like this:

Supported Features

Remote Inference has full feature parity with local Scope — everything you can do locally works in the cloud:
  • All pipelines — Every pipeline available locally works remotely on H100 GPUs
  • LoRAs — Load LoRAs from CivitAI or Hugging Face; adjust strength in real-time
  • Nodes — Install and use community nodes (remote-approved nodes only)
  • Workflows — Import, export, and share workflows with full dependency resolution
  • Control interfaces — OSC, MIDI, DMX, and other control protocols work as expected
  • Output interfaces — Spout, Syphon, NDI, and other output protocols are fully supported
When loading a workflow with LoRAs or nodes, the remote server automatically downloads and installs all dependencies. This may add 1-2 minutes to startup time.

Usage Details

  • Session duration - Each session provides up to 1 hour of GPU access. Upon disconnection, you may reconnect immediately to begin a new session. There is no charge and no limit on the number of sessions during the beta period.
  • Startup time - Please allow approximately 2-3 minutes for the remote GPU to provision, followed by an additional 1-2 minutes for the selected pipeline to initialize and begin producing output.

Known Limitations

These limitations are specific to the beta and may be resolved in future releases.
  • Krea Realtime pipeline switching requires an application restart - to switch to krea-realtime-video from another pipeline, close the application, relaunch it, enable the Remote Inference toggle in the settings panel, select the Krea pipeline, and press Play.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues while using Remote Inference, Scope’s built-in log panel and bug reporter can help you capture what went wrong and share it with us.
