Show HN: Cloud GPUs for Deep Learning – At 1/3 the Cost of AWS/GCP
I’m a self taught ML engineer, and when I was starting on my ML journey I was incredibly frustrated by cloud services like AWS/GCP. a)they were super expensive, b)it took me longer to setup a working GPU instance than to learn to build my first model!So I built https://gpu.land/.It’s a simple service that only does one thing: rents out Tesla V100s in the cloud.Why is it awesome?- It’s dirt-cheap. You get a Tesla V100 for $0.99/hr, which is 1/3 the cost of AWS/GCP/Azure/[insert big cloud name].- It’s dead simple. It takes 2mins from registration to a launched instance. Instances come pre-installed with everything you need for Deep Learning, including a 1-click Jupyter server.- It sports a retro, MS-DOS-like look. Because why not:)The most common question I get is - how is this so cheap? The answer is because AWS/GCP are charging you a huge markup and I’m not. In fact I’m charging just enough to break even, and built this project really to give back to community (and to learn some of the tech in the process).HN special: email me a few lines about yourself and what you’re working on and get $10 in free credit. I’m at hi@gpu.land.Otherwise I’m around for any questions!
