Pros & Cons

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
Self-service VMs top out at 4 GPUs; 8-GPU nodes require a bare metal reservation with a one-month minimum

Lambda Labs

Advantages

Early access to latest NVIDIA GPUs (H100, H200, Blackwell)
Specialized for AI workloads
One-click Jupyter access
Pre-installed popular ML frameworks

Considerations

Primarily focused on AI and ML workloads
Limited global data center presence compared to major cloud providers
Newer player in the cloud GPU market
