Yep it is quite an arbitrage going on. Unless startup credits at the highest tier ($100K), way too expensive for most startups.
For a lot of our customers, cloud is impossible now for HPC: shortages are so bad that you have to know someone high up at top cloud providers to get access to right-sized GPUs. (T4? Forget it -- one of our tickets is open since ~Christmas.)
We have gone hybrid, and for growing compute, going multi-cloud, with main stuff on top 3 clouds (CPU, light minimal GPU...), and GPUs elasticity on other ones. And for a lot... Yep, just buy GPUs for local dev.
