GPU Compute
Raw hardware rental for training or custom docker containers.
| Rank | Model | Price | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|

1
|
Competitive | The H200/Blackwell Standard. The first cloud to offer general availability of NVIDIA B200 (Blackwell) clusters. It remains the gold standard for training foundation models due to its '1-Click Cluster' setup. | |
|
2
|
Cheap/Flexible | The Developer's Cloud. Famous for 'Serverless GPU Pods' that spin up in 2 seconds. It bridges the gap between hobbyist renting (RTX 5090s) and enterprise scale (H100s), making it the default for indie hackers. | |
|
3
|
Enterprise | The Hyperscaler Specialist. It doesn't do general cloud; it only does high-performance compute. It is the backbone for companies like Mistral and Inflection, offering the bare-metal performance required for multi-node training runs. | |
|
4
|
Usage Based | The Software Engineer's GPU. It abstracts the infrastructure entirely. You write Python code decorated with `@app.function(gpu='H100')`, and it handles the containerization, queuing, and scaling automatically. |
