Compare AI chips by how you access them: AMD rentals, Google and AWS cloud accelerators, or Cerebras and Groq APIs. Get live prices and a clear decision rule.
guides / pricingDecode AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and Oracle GPU names, check GPU counts and memory, then compare live AWS rates and dated Oracle rates with other providers.
guides / pricingMatch SDXL, FLUX and video workflows to GPU memory, compare live rental options, and weigh Comfy Cloud subscriptions against your monthly GPU usage.
hardware / guidesCompare HBM4 with HBM3E, separate JEDEC limits from maker claims, and check Rubin and AMD memory plans against the HBM3E GPUs in live rental tables.
guides / analysisCompare LoRA, QLoRA and full fine-tuning with worked 7B and 70B memory budgets, published quality results, GPU choices and live prices to estimate run costs.
hardware / guidesUnderstand why NVIDIA pulled Rubin CPX, what Groq LPX does beside Vera Rubin, and how to test prefill and decode separation on H100, H200 or B200 GPUs.
hardware / guidesCompare Vera with Grace, including conflicting memory figures, standalone server announcements, reported deliveries and Grace-based GPU rental options.
guides / hardwareChoose how to split a model across rented GPUs, calculate training memory, and match tensor, pipeline and data parallelism to NVLink and cluster networks.
guides / analysisChoose an inference engine for your rented GPU using dated feature support, published benchmark setups, deployment options and practical workload rules.
hardware / guidesUnderstand AI inference, size training and serving memory, and choose a GPU using dense compute, memory bandwidth, workload limits and live rental prices.
pricing / guidesCompare dated AWS Trainium and Inferentia list prices with live GPU rentals, check Neuron support, and decide whether migration pays for your workload.
hardware / guidesCompare HBM memory and GDDR7 by capacity, bandwidth and live GPU rental prices. Learn when faster memory helps LLM decode and when a GDDR card is enough.
guides / hardwareVerify your rented GPU's model, memory, power, PCIe and NVLink, then check errors and run a short server stress test before committing to a long training job.
hardware / guidesInfiniBand and RoCE Ethernet both move GPU traffic between servers. See the generations, provider fabrics, and when a single GPU or node needs neither.
guides / analysisCheck dated ROCm support for PyTorch, JAX and inference servers, identify CUDA porting work, and compare live GPU prices against measured workload costs.
hardware / guidesFour NVIDIA cards carry the 6000 name. Tell them apart by full name, memory and NVLink, then compare their specs and live rental prices side by side.
hardware / guidesPick a precision for pre-training, fine-tuning or inference, and see which rentable GPUs accelerate FP8 and FP4 in hardware and which only emulate them.
guides / pricingWhich free GPU options still work in September 2026, which closed, who qualifies for credits, and what the cheapest paid GPU costs once the quota runs out.
pricing / guidesColab plans and compute units explained, a dated estimate of what a Colab T4 costs per hour, Kaggle's free tier, and live hourly prices to rent the same GPUs.
providers / guidesWho rents cloud GPUs, grouped by kind and listed alphabetically, with a live price table, verified facts per provider and five questions to shortlist three.
pricing / guidesHow on-demand, spot, reserved, capacity block and marketplace GPU pricing work, what each one commits you to, and a rule for picking between them.
pricing / guidesPick between a monthly dedicated GPU server, a GPU VPS and an hourly cloud GPU for an always-on job, with dated list prices and a break-even formula.
hardware / guidesVRAM, memory bandwidth and dense throughput decide an AI workload. How to find them on a datasheet, and why the headline TFLOPS figure is usually doubled.
hardware / guidesA is Ampere, L is Ada, H is Hopper, B is Blackwell. A decoder table, a generation timeline and a four-step method for placing any NVIDIA GPU on a rental site.
hardware / guidesNVLink, PCIe and SXM explained for people renting multi-GPU servers: bandwidth per generation, what the H100 NVL is, and when the SXM premium pays off.
pricing / guidesA GPU-hour is one GPU used for one hour. Learn how providers meter it, what the price leaves out, and how to estimate a job's cost from live prices.
providers / guidesA neocloud is a GPU-first cloud. See how neoclouds differ from hyperscalers and GPU marketplaces, who they are, the risks, and which one to rent from.
hardware / guidesMIG splits one NVIDIA data centre GPU into isolated instances with their own memory. See which GPUs support it and when a slice beats a whole cheap GPU.
