#14I've started testing with vultr some because they offer affordable fractional GPUs. I think I had something running for about $60/month with a 'real' GPU. 1/24th a GPU, IIRC, but... better than nothing. DO and linode offer GPU service, but the minimal cost just to get something up is significantly more.

#17"Cloud AI Startup Vultr" We really have let this go too far when a mid tier VPS provider is now a "cloud AI startup".
They're not even a startup, the company is 10 years old. The investment does make some sense from AMD perspective though. They need people to be able to access their GPUs, on a rental basis. They can't really throw enough money at AWS, GCP or Azure to make a difference, but Vultr is a trusted VPS provider, where AMD can buy a lot of influence for a realistic amount of money.

Digital Ocean has a market cap of $3.49B as of yesterday, so $3.5B for Vultr sounds about right.

I’ve also use those … shhh don’t tell everyone, they have already been full on many occasions.
IMO Vultr is best cloud provider and I’ve tried many. I can’t give a single reason but more they seem to get the balance of features correct for me.

10 years isn't all that long for a company to remain a "startup".
