Run AI workloads on isolated GPU resources with secure SSH access.
Permanent Data Wipe
All data and the OS are permanently wiped after server rental ends.
Ultra-Low Latency
Offers ultra-low latency desktops that mimic local experience.
Fully Swiss Hosted

Pros & Cons

Baseten

Advantages

Per-minute billing on dedicated GPUs
Per-token Model APIs and dedicated deployments from one account
SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant
Multi-GPU instance sizes published with vCPU and memory

Considerations

Dedicated GPU rates are higher than raw GPU rental because they include the serving platform
Model API catalog is a curated set of models
Volume discounts and custom regions require a sales conversation

SwissGPU

Advantages

Dedicated bare-metal GPU and compute resources for each client, with no virtualization layer.
Secure SSH access, with all data and the OS permanently wiped at the end of a rental.
Local-like experience with ultra-low latency remote desktops.
Published hourly rates for every GPU configuration, with per-minute billing and no storage or network fees.

Considerations

Consumer and workstation GPUs only — no datacenter accelerators such as H100 or B200 for large-scale training.
Single location: all capacity is in Switzerland, which adds latency for users outside Europe.
Electricity is metered and billed on top of the hourly rate, so the listed rate is not the full cost.
