Ask HN: What is the cheapest ($/hour) H100 renting service with quick spin-up?

[dtquad]

Something that can be programmatically spun up and turned off in seconds would be ideal.

I don't know about cheapest but Modal is quite convenient code-wise

[huevosabio → Gooblebrai]

Modal is excellent for prototyping and experimentation, but I find the queueing and startup times hard to stomach. Perhaps if I had a much bigger load it would be snappier.

Runpod with its python APIs.
