This actually seems like a game changer. Access to machine learning / developer rigs at incredibly cheap prices?

#22I've looked around the site but im still confused - It looks like its a windows OS? Is there an iPad client?

#23It doesn't look like this is launched yet, at least I don't see it when I log in. I've been happy with their notebook product Gradient though, and it will be interesting to see if latency is good enough for this to replace some local desktop usage.
Sorry for the confusion here, we are in the midst of separating out the two products and this is not reflected everywhere yet. Under the CORE section of the interface, you'll find these instances and you can download the desktop app here: https://paperspace.com/download
Aha, yes Core is there. Thanks. FYI it looks like there's a bug where the instance type picker doesn't show storage capacity (just "GB").

#24I only see Gradient and Core. Where is Workstream? Neat idea!

#25Was going to try their Free account, until I signed up and the discovered the big black "Free" had a tiny light grey "+ Machine Utilization Charges" beneath it. Everything is "Free + Charges".
I have a pet theory that some of the managers that set up the "free - just pay shipping and handling" type businesses found a new home in e-commerce. I obviously dislike it.

#26I’m relishing the switch back to the thin client / main frame model, but I want to own my main frame. Even if it physically sits in a company’s data center. With 5G we are getting closer to disposable glass thin client interfaces.

I'm waiting for my honest business practices to pay off.
No cookies, no ads, donations only.
It hasn't paid off aside from about 1k per year in revenue and lots of thank you emails.

#28What's the AWS equivalent to their biggest instance?

#29"How does pricing work? For hourly plans you are charged a flat rate(depending on machine type) per month to cover storage and access. Am I charged when my machine is off? For hourly plans, if your machine is powered off, you will only be billed for your storage." Are those charges listed anywhere? They don't seem to be on the Workstream pricing page.
I had to dig around, but found them in the help desk: https://support.paperspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000380433...

Here's a link to the storage pricing. There are links on that page to pricing details for just about any scenario.

The lowest level is 50GB for $5 per month
