    Show HN: Backprop GPU Cloud for affordable and high quality VMs

    Hey all! I've been hosting a small fleet of GPU servers for 3 years now on a public marketplace. A couple of months ago I started building my own GPU Cloud as I believe this way us…

    Thanks! Great question. The seconds vary a lot on a task, model and input basis. For example, if you do something quick like text vectorisation on a couple of sentences then it is …

    This is a PyTorch based library my team and I have been working on for the last few months, with the goal of making finetuning and using models as easy as possible for devs, even w…

    We have exposed the large GPT 2 model as an API. https://backprop.co Anyone can access it and our pricing is usage based. If you use less than 1000 seconds of inference a month the…
