Features Comparison

Deep Infra

Drop-in OpenAI Replacement
OpenAI-compatible API for 100+ models including DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama 4, Claude, and Gemini families with autoscaling
Dedicated GPU Rentals
B200 instances with SSH access spin up in about 10 seconds and bill hourly
Custom LLM Deployments
Deploy your own Hugging Face models onto dedicated A100, H100, H200, B200, or B300 GPUs
Transparent GPU Pricing
Published per-GPU hourly rates for A100, H100, H200, B200, and B300 with competitive pricing
Owned Inference Infrastructure
Runs on its own inference-optimized hardware in US-based data centers rather than rented capacity
Comprehensive AI APIs
Support for text generation, vision and OCR, embeddings and reranking, image, video and music generation, and speech recognition and synthesis

Lium.io

Diverse GPU Options
Offers a variety of NVIDIA GPUs including B300, B200, H100, and RTX 4090.
Secure and Spot Tiers
Every node is listed as Secure or Spot; Spot nodes are cheaper but may be interrupted without compensation.
Global Availability
Data centers in multiple countries including the US, Europe, and Australia.
Verified Machines
Lium checks every machine's GPUs and scores their performance before it is rented.
GPU Splitting
Nodes can be split so several renters each rent a whole number of a node's GPUs.
CLI, SDK and REST API
Headless CLI and Python SDK with JSON output, a REST API with scoped API keys and per-key USD budgets, and rent-by-spec under a price ceiling.

Pros & Cons

Deep Infra

Advantages

Simple OpenAI-compatible API alongside controllable GPU rentals
Competitive hourly rates for NVIDIA GPUs including B200 and B300
Fast provisioning with SSH access for dedicated instances (ready in ~10 seconds)
Supports custom deployments in addition to hosted public models

Considerations

Infrastructure is US-based only, with no published international regions
Primarily focused on inference and GPU rentals rather than broader cloud services
Newer player compared to established cloud providers

Lium.io

Advantages

Per-second billing with no minimum rental and no commitment
Public machine-readable pricing for every model and every rentable node
Documented CLI, Python SDK and REST API
Multiple global locations for deployment

Considerations

Marketplace capacity: available GPUs and prices vary by provider and change continuously
Spot nodes may be interrupted without compensation
Prepaid balance required; pods stop when the balance runs out

Compute Services

Deep Infra

Serverless Inference

Hosted model APIs with autoscaling on Deep Infra's own inference infrastructure.

Drop-in OpenAI replacement - swap base URL, keep existing code
100+ models including the DeepSeek V4, Qwen 3.7, Llama 4, Claude 5, Gemini 3.5, Gemma 4, GLM-5, Kimi K2.7, and Nemotron 3 families

Dedicated GPU Instances

Cached input pricing

Prompt-cached input tokens are billed at a lower rate than uncached input tokens

No long-term commitments

Flexible hourly billing for dedicated instances with no prepayments, contracts, or minimums required

Lium.io

Pay-as-you-go

Billed per second at the listed hourly rate from a prepaid balance, with no minimum rental and no commitment.

Secure Tier

The default tier; providers are penalized if a rental is interrupted.
