We use the same graphic buses, such as SXM4 and PCI Express 4.0 x 16, as you would find in your system. Theoretically, there should be no difference in performance or compatibility at all. If you have conducted your tests on shared instances and have observed such differences, then it's understandable. However, I want to emphasize once again that we provide dedicated virtual machines, which means that the resources a…

Even so, an A100 is not actually faster than an RTX 4090, right? So basically the reason you would want to use something like this instead is because you need the VRAM?

That’s not the case. It is significantly faster, at least for deep learning workloads. Check out Lambda Lab’s benchmarks.

Thank you for your question! We offer Windows (BYOL) images on our virtual machines. If you have a good latency to our servers and sufficient bandwidth to handle the streaming, you can enjoy cloud gaming using any software of your choice. To get started, you can deploy a CPU-based Windows virtual machine for as low as $0.019/hr. Once you have installed your games, you can stop the virtual machine and modify it into a…

Neat - thanks! What I would find helpful is a calculator to estimate the total cost per day, including storage, ram, etc. It would be great if it allowed me to easily answers questions like this one. Assuming that: - I game 2 hours a day, - I need 50 GB for Windows and another 200 GB for games, - I need 16 GB of ram and an equivalent of RTX 4080, what would my total cost per day would be?

We have plans to add a calculator in the coming days to make it easier for you to estimate costs. Currently, the console deploy page is the only place where you can see the hourly pricing.

As for finding a GPU equivalent to the RTX 4080, it's challenging as it is a new release and we don't have benchmarks for it yet. However, we can provide pricing estimates for the RTX 5000 and RTX 4000 GPUs.

For the RTX 4000, the approximate cost would be around $24, while for the RTX 5000, it would be around $45. Please keep in mind that these are estimates and the actual pricing may vary. Additionally, the optimization we are planning to implement for IP addresses in the near future will further improve the overall pricing.

What is your hypervisor technology? How do you ensure isolation between tenants?

PS: I see that your VMs are created in CoreWeave datacenters. I wonder the relationship between your company and CoreWeave. Are you just a reseller?

I’m new to this cloud gpu thing, how do I use this? Do I get access to a vm with powerful gpus? I would love to be able to execute dockerfiles over the cli that runs gpu intensive executables.

Hello! To begin, simply create an account at https://console.oblivus.com and add a minimum of $5 to your account balance. Alternatively, you can utilize the promo code HN_1 on the same page for testing purposes. Once you deploy your server, you'll have access to a dedicated virtual machine, providing you with the capability to perform any tasks you would typically carry out on your own computer. You also have the fre…

That page is not mobile friendly FYI :-)

I'm truly confused by your argument and @pjlegato's ... It's more expensive to rent a GPU than to buy it. This whole comment thread started because GP wrote: >Remember retail GPUs are much more powerful, much cheaper and much more available than cloud GPUs. So, still, why would a consumer care about performance per watt?

Because you'll have to include its price when you buy it, but not when you rent it. And how the economics plays out then is not obvious without maths.

I can assure you it's cheaper to buy. Otherwise they wouldn't be leasing it.

(ofc assuming you're not going to use it for like a day)

> We also just launched H100s for $2.40/hr. What's the availability like? I had tried it once and had problem getting any GPU.

We have lots of H100s available right now.

Thanks! Is there a status page like https://oblivus.com/availability/ for Lambda Cloud? I got very excited about building a product on top of Lambda cloud for cocalc.com, but after read lots of docs, when I tried Lambda cloud, I just got the message: "We are currently out of capacity for all instances. Please check again in a few hours." This was on April 27. I immediately thought: "There is no possible way I can build a product on this for my users, but it may be very useful for other tasks, e.g., training." If there were something like https://oblivus.com/availability/, especially with historical data, it would be very useful to appropriately set my expectations about how Lambda Cloud can best be used.

By the way, Lambda Stack is VERY impressive. Thanks for maintaining that!

Re the pricing I see all prices given per hour (which I think is sensible), but I can't find what the granularity of usage measurement is.

Assume I try something out on a GPU server and I realize I made some wrong assumption in my code and I need to think things over, so I shut down the instance after 2h 18min 24s of usage. What do I pay for?

Ed. Nevermind, I found the answer here https://docs.oblivus.com/billing/payment-plans, seems to be per minute, so I assume 2h 19min.
