Curious as I’m experimenting with LLM stuff myself these days, where did you rent the A100? I suppose it comes out to be cheaper than paying OpenAI or Anthropic for credits?
You can easily and somewhat cheaply get access to A100s with Google Colab by paying for the pro subscription or just buying them outright. They sell “compute credits” which are pretty opaque, hard to say the amount of usage time you’ll be able to get with X credits.
I assume that’s an Amazon thing but man that is unfortunate naming to anyone sufficiently familiar with web fiction (and possibly, intentionally cheeky that way).
I suppose subtlety is braindead, but its body will remain forcefully kept alive by being hooked to machines until someone launches an AI-powered defense system literally called Skynet.

I used https://www.runpod.io/. Pretty cheap.
There’s also vast.ai and lamda labs. And prime intellect.

You’d think, but nope, it’s explicitly named after the web fiction.

Like the Darwin Awards, we need the Torment Nexus Awards for stuff like this.
I’m afraid the people who are nominated would just make torment nexus themed laptop stickers.
