Features Comparison

Beam

Pay-per-millisecond Billing
Only charged when your code runs, no charges for cold starts or server spin-up
Sub-second Cold Starts
Memory snapshots and GPU checkpoint restore bring containers back in seconds, which Beam reports as up to 35x faster than a traditional cold boot
Secure Sandbox Environments
Run untrusted code safely in isolated environments for AI agents and code interpreters
Stateful, Persistent Runtimes
Pause and resume sessions while maintaining filesystem, memory, and running processes
Elastic GPU Scaling
Scale to zero when idle, burst to thousands of containers in seconds
Custom Docker Images
Bring your own Docker images for full environment control, including running the Docker daemon inside containers

Denvr Dataworks

Multi-Accelerator Catalog
NVIDIA Blackwell, Hopper and Ampere GPUs alongside Intel Gaudi 2 accelerators
Per-Minute Billing
Granular billing for on-demand workloads in addition to reserved contracts
Bare-Metal and Cloud GPUs
Provision managed applications, virtual machines in 1x to 8x GPU configurations, or direct bare-metal hosts
High-Performance Infrastructure
Up to 1,024 GPU clusters connected by 3,200 Gbps non-blocking InfiniBand with tenant-isolated VPC networking
AI Inference Platform
Deploy foundation or custom models on dedicated GPU endpoints with OpenAI API compatibility
Managed Storage
Fully managed NVMe shared storage and petabyte-scale shared filesystems for AI workloads and large datasets

Pros & Cons

Beam

Advantages

Pay-per-millisecond billing with no charges for cold starts
Ultrafast boot times with sub-second cold starts via memory snapshots
GPU selection spanning RTX 4090 through B200, plus InfiniBand cluster nodes
On-demand machines priced flat per machine, including vCPU, RAM, and NVMe storage

Considerations

Serverless GPUs other than the RTX 4090 require a committed-spend agreement
GPU container concurrency is capped on the lower plan tiers
Multi-node InfiniBand clusters are sales-only with no published pricing

Denvr Dataworks

Advantages

Rare publicly priced Intel Gaudi 2 capacity
Per-minute billing on on-demand instances
