Pros & Cons

Amazon AWS

Advantages

Broad range of compute options including GPUs
Highly scalable and reliable infrastructure
Pay-as-you-go pricing with cost optimization tools
Extensive global network of data centers

Considerations

Complex pricing structure
Steep learning curve for new users
Potential for unexpected costs without proper management

Hugging Face

Advantages

Inference Providers adds no markup over partner rates
Monthly inference credits on free and PRO accounts

Considerations

Endpoint GPU rates are above raw cloud rental for the same card
GPU availability differs by cloud and region
Inference Providers rates are the partners' rates, so costs vary with the provider a request is routed to
