Well, someone who’s building a GPU renting service right now obviously wants to scare you into using expensive and “reliable” services; the market crashing is disastrous for them. The reality is high price is hardly an indicator of reliability, and the article very clearly explains why H100 hours are being sold at $2 or less, and it’s not because of certain providers lacking reliability.

Nah, don't be silly. No need to scare anyone into anything. Use whatever you want to use. My point in saying and of this is to simply point out that we offer this service to people who value these things.

If it crashes half way through, you don’t get a useful model, and you’re still on the hook for the rental costs to get there maybe?

Depends on the SLA.

That's... possible? But a little unlikely.

I think I'll take that risk over paying more for your allegedly more reliable GPUs anytime.
