On: Building a deep learning rig

With the current more-or-less dependency on CUDA and thus Nvidia hardware it's about making sure you actually have the hardware available consistently.

I've had VERY hit-miss results with Vast.ai and I'm convinced people are cheating their evaluation stuff because when the rubber meets the road it's very clear performance isn't what it's claimed to be. Then you still need to be able to actually get them...

use runpod and yeah i think vast.ai has some scams, especially in the asian and eastern european nodes.
