"just spend $1000 on a new GPU"
- moffkalast 3y agoHow much do you think those API calls will cost you that require someone else to buy the GPU, maintain the server architecture, and also take a cut in the process? It only takes a 3-4 months to amortize if you want the instance to be up 24/7. And in the end you can still resell the GPU.
- openquery 3y agoI rent spot instances on GCP with big GPUs on demand. It works quite well and since I'm just playing around I pay a very small amount per hour and kill it after I'm done.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoDoes this work on-demand? Could I build something I can query from my phone as needed?
- 0xedd 3y agoDepends on your budget. If it's the absolute minimum, it won't be real time responses. As provisioning infra isn't instantaneous.
- beej71 3y agoJust want to point out that $1000 is nothing to a lot of potential bad actors. $1 million is nothing.
