Google colab is $49/mo to get an A100. Trust me when I say you can build multimillion-dollar ML companies with just that (and maybe $100 extra dollars per month of spot credits).

OP does not mention that he's employed by BaseTen, the company behind "Blueprint" (which is mentioned repeatedly in the blog post). I noticed the repeated mentions and did some digging to find this out. Not cool, OP, not cool. See: https://www.baseten.co/blog/deploying-stable-diffusion
