Have been experimenting lately with GPUs off vast.ai. Has worked well for experiments with Stable Diffusion and is cheap! Any other suggestions for where to rent cheap GPUs? - i've heard about Hetzner (https://www.hetzner.com/sb?search=gpu https://www.hetzner.com/sb?search=gpu), but they are 1080s.

Paperspace, Vultr

I tried use Paperspace Gradient "Growth" plan for Teams. The product was so buggy it was unusable. Their support and engineers were wonderful to talk to, but they admitted that there are a lot of features that just don't work and they don't have the bandwidth to fix them. It seems like an early product and I wouldn't recommend it if you need something dependable, at least not now. I would love to work with them in the future if the stability improves.

Lambda has $1.10/hr A100 instances. That's less than half the price of GCP on demand. https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud

  If I may ask, and if you use Lambda Labs cloud GCP, how do you like it? I have visited their pricing page about ten times, their price for a single A100 is very good, but I haven’t talked to any customers. Do you basically get VPS with a GPU and all the usually software installed, and SSH/Mosh into it?

    Yeah I found Lambda super easy to use, especially compared to GCP etc. It took me about 5 minutes to get a model up and running. They don't support launching machines with docker images or kubernetes or anything like that though (problem if you want to run a business on it) and recently they are extremely supply constrained (only available machine type 8xA100, no A6000s or V100s).

Vast.ai told me as far as they know they are the usually cheapest option, but that sometimes lambda offers something similar or slightly lower.
