You says Vast.AI is the “most reliable provider”. In my experience, it’s an unreliable mess with sometimes buggy not properly working servers and non-existent support service. I will also say the same about runpod.io. On the other hand, lambdalabs had been very reliable in my experience and has a much better UX. The main problem with LambdaLabs is that nowadays it happens pretty often that it has no available servers.
Thanks for the comment, fair point! I found Vast.AI to be frustratingly unreliable when I started using it but it seems to have improved over the last three months, to the point where it feels comparable to (how I remember) LambdaLabs. LambdaLabs definitely has the best UI/UX though. I’ve amended the post to clarify.
I’ve had one great and one average experience with RunPod customer service, but haven’t interacted with anyone from the other services.
