JarvisLabs Instances API

  title: JarvisLabs Account Instances API
  description: REST modeling of the JarvisLabs.ai GPU cloud instance-management surface that is wrapped by the jarvislabs Python SDK, the jl CLI, and the legacy jlclient library. JarvisLabs does not publish raw REST endpoint paths in its public documentation; the operations, parameters, GPU types, templates, and lifecycle behavior modeled here are taken directly from the documented SDK methods (Instance.create, instance.pause, instance.resume, instance.destroy, User.get_instances, User.get_instance, User.get_templates, User.get_balance, FileSystem.create/list/delete) and the equivalent jl CLI commands (jl create, list, get, pause, resume, rename, destroy, gpus, templates, status, filesystem). Paths are modeled conservatively under a versioned base and should be treated as illustrative of the documented behavior rather than as officially published routes.
