Now that is patently false. Maybe you should start with your disclosure of working for a competitor before spreading such misinformation. Hourly checkpointing is a thing and built into frameworks such as Tensorflow. Making it very easy to save your work just before interruption, that is IF you are interrupted given your spot price is too low, and then resuming whenever you'd like, i.e. when prices fall back down below your max threshold. I've compared cost with Paperspace and it's not even close. The cost saving on AWS are huge, especially on the most expensive gpu instances which is what we machine learners use.
Look, as a consumer of gpu compute, I want there to be as much competition in this space as possible, so I root for you guys, but as it stands you're nowhere even close.
