Features Comparison

GMI Cloud

Serverless Inference
OpenAI-compatible endpoints for LLM and multimodal models with request batching and scaling to zero
Dedicated GPU Compute
Managed Kubernetes clusters, container instances, and bare-metal servers with RDMA-ready networking
Blackwell Capacity
GB200 available and GB300 on pre-order alongside H100, H200, and B200 systems
Studio and AgentBox
Visual workflow builder for multi-step model pipelines plus a marketplace for publishing and using AI agents
Reserved + On-Demand
Both hourly on-demand capacity and longer-term committed reservations are published

Hot Aisle

AMD MI300X Fleet
Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with 8x 192GB AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and Intel Xeon CPUs.
Minute-Level Billing
Transparent published MI300X rates, with self-service VMs and dedicated 8-GPU bare metal both metered by the minute through Stripe.
Automation Below Kubernetes
NetBox-backed inventory plus automated SONiC networking, PXE boot, host setup, and current ROCm drivers, so orchestration is not the first layer.
Isolated KVM Instances
NUMA-balanced KVM virtual machines with direct GPU access and private isolated networking to avoid noisy neighbors.
High-Speed Fabric
8x400G RoCEv2 per chassis plus 100G internet and unlimited bandwidth.
Ready-to-Use Images
Ubuntu options with ROCm, Docker, and optional K8s/Slurm/Ray installs via cloud-init.

Pros & Cons

GMI Cloud

Advantages

Transparent published per-GPU hourly rates
Access to current Blackwell-generation systems
OpenAI-compatible inference API alongside dedicated GPU clusters

Considerations

Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers
Newer entrant relative to long-established providers
Published GPU catalog covers only datacenter-class parts, with no lower-tier options such as L4 or L40S

Hot Aisle

Advantages

Self-service MI300X VMs with transparent published rates metered by the minute, no sales call required
Dense XE9680 nodes with 8x400G RoCEv2 for multi-server scaling
Credit card to running compute in under a minute, with public IP and firewall control included
100G internet with unlimited bandwidth plus included IPv4/IPv6 addresses

Considerations

Single public region (Grand Rapids, MI) limits locality options
AMD-only GPU lineup today; MI355X is reservation-only for now
VMs top out at 4 GPUs; 8-GPU configurations are offered only as dedicated bare metal
