Pros & Cons

GMI Cloud

Advantages

Transparent published per-GPU hourly rates
Access to current Blackwell-generation systems
Managed inference offering layered on dedicated GPUs

Considerations

Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers
Newer entrant relative to long-established providers
Lower-tier GPU selection (L4, T4, etc.) is limited

Hot Aisle

Advantages

On-demand MI300X VMs and bare metal with transparent minute-based pricing
Dense XE9680 nodes with 8x400G RoCEv2 for multi-server scaling
100G internet with unlimited bandwidth plus included IPv4/IPv6 addresses
Hands-on support with ROCm-ready images, API access, and optional cluster tooling installs

Considerations

Single public region (Grand Rapids, MI) limits locality options
AMD-only GPU lineup today; MI355x is reservation-only for now
Documentation lives in site pages and API docs, so some workflows may require coordinator support
