I'm not very familiar with machine learning setups, but in general with hosts you trade SLA for pricing. You trade the 99.999% uptime and data consistency of hyperscaled hosts for cheaper pricing at smaller hosts. Assuming you can backup your data at checkpoints, consider running it on a setup like this for very cheap, and then back it up every hour/day to a consistently reliable data storage. AWS EC2 is very expensive for computing, but S3 is relatively cheap for storage. Backblaze B2 storage is also even cheaper, but with less guaranteed reliability than S3. But the odds of both this going down on you and Backblaze failing at the same time are pretty low.
I run a credit card processor on AWS, my important personal websites on Linode, and my fun time websites and video conferencing on a small Chicago host called Genesis Hosting with a website out of the 90s and dirt cheap pricing (but excellent support). Match your price and SLA with how much pain it's going to cause you if it goes down, and don't put pay extra to put all your stuff on the same 5 9s host if you don't really have to.
