Still pretty expensive IMO. I'm building a GPU accelerated signal processing web-app, and I'm currently planning to deploy it on a $180 Nvidia Jetson. Performances are a little bit low, but mostly enough to make the app usable. I tried to find GPU instances for Does anybody know cheaper GPU instances? I don't need much computing power, about 0.5Tflops to 1TFlops

Less than 50$ will be really hard, at least in any form of professional setup (so not hosted in a random basement ;) ).

Our lowest at Genesis Cloud at this time are instances with an RTX 3060Ti for 0.20$/hour which adds up to 146$/month ( https://www.genesiscloud.com/pricing#nvidia3060ti ) Though, this includes free storage, no egress fees and has a lot more power than a Jetson.

If you need to optimize for low cost hosting, did you already check whether you actually must have a GPU for your use case? Modern CPU have some impressing capabilities.

Here we have another instance of self-promotion that does not align with what GGP mentioned. Thank you, Genesis and Lambda, for promoting yourselves in a startup thread. Given your long-standing presence in this industry, I would expect better engagement from you.

You were doing so well, self promoting and engaging with the community on your post earlier. I didn't expect to see you stoop to this level of commenting.

Maybe it's time to step away from the keyboard for a while?

I appreciate and respect every user who contributes by asking questions, providing feedback, or sharing suggestions. However, it is disappointing and unreasonable to witness self-promotion from companies that have been established in this industry for a considerable period of time under a startup thread.

Moreover, the fact that their self-promotion does not align with the intention of the original discussion and GGP explains their purpose. Their primary goal is not genuinely assisting or finding a solution.

In such cases, as you can imagine, it's challenging for me to maintain respect.

If you're finding it too challenging, might I reiterate my suggestion to take a break from the keyboard? it's not a good look.

Lambda Cloud has A100 40GB for $1.10/hr—less than half the price of OP). We also just launched H100s for $2.40/hr. https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud

Engaging in self-promotion without taking the time to understand the context is not helpful. Moreover, the estimated cost of approximately $800 per month would still apply, which may not be within the desired budget.

How dare someone self-promote in the midst of your self-promotion?

I am answering to the version before you edited it.

You are absolutely right, and I apologize if I came across as dismissive. We may have different viewpoints, and it's important to respect and acknowledge each other's perspectives. I appreciate your input, and I'm here to listen and address any further questions or concerns.

Let's keep the conversation friendly and open.

You make a valid point, and I appreciate your suggestion.

I apologize if my previous comment came across as dismissive. I believe I have expressed my viewpoint clearly, but I'm open to further discussion.

Let's continue this conversation in a friendly and respectful manner, but after I come back from my break as you have suggested. :)

Also, Datacenter GPUs only have passive cooling, presumably to allow for more Cuda cores. I get that what I have is older tech but for the cost of one H100 GPU I can have 60 of these servers (600 GPUs) plus some change to pay for CoLo fees.

I'm not trying to discourage, and I don't have concrete numbers on hand, but there are other factors, beside the price of h/w. Like, obviously, electricity use, data locality / moving it around (with more smaller units you'd have to move it more, also, not sure if consumer-grade GPUs support NVLink, and even if they do, then at what bandwidth?) For some of these, you could obviously pay with your time. Sometimes that…

I estimate $1.5k of electricity per GPU for a 5y lifetime assuming 100% load. Not including other components.
