Pros & Cons

CoreWeave

Advantages

Extensive selection of NVIDIA GPUs, including latest Blackwell architecture
Kubernetes-native infrastructure for easy scaling and deployment
Fast deployment with 10x faster inference spin-up times
High cluster reliability with 96% goodput and 50% fewer interruptions

Considerations

Data center footprint concentrated in North America and Europe
Some configurations, including GB300 NVL72 and HGX B300, require contacting sales rather than self-service on-demand
Specialized nature may not suit all general computing needs

Hugging Face

Advantages

Deploy any compatible Hub model to dedicated GPUs without managing infrastructure
Choice of cloud and region per endpoint
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
