Cloud path

Cloud GPU deals

Decide when rental GPUs beat local hardware for burst workloads, long context, parallel jobs, and experiments.

Decision checkpoints

Cloud is often smarter for short bursts, high-end GPUs, and workloads you cannot keep busy.

Watch total cost: storage, idle time, egress, snapshots, and setup time all count.

Use local hardware when privacy, offline access, or daily utilization matters more.
