Features Comparison

Hugging Face

Inference Endpoints
Dedicated deployments of Hub models on NVIDIA GPUs (T4 to H200 and RTX PRO 6000) on AWS or Google Cloud, with a choice of region and 1 to 8 GPUs
Inference Providers
One API and token for models served by partner providers such as Together, Fireworks, Groq, Cerebras, Novita and DeepInfra, billed at each provider's rate with no Hugging Face markup
Model Hub
Hosting for open models, datasets, and Spaces demo apps
Autoscaling
Endpoints scale replicas with traffic and can scale to zero

SwissGPU

Dedicated Resources
Every machine is fully dedicated to you, with direct access to GPU, CPU, memory, and storage. There is no virtualization layer and no shared GPU resources.
Isolated GPU Infrastructure
Run AI workloads on isolated GPU resources with secure SSH access.
Permanent Data Wipe
All data and the OS are permanently wiped after server rental ends.
Ultra-Low Latency
Offers ultra-low latency desktops that mimic local experience.
Fully Swiss Hosted
All servers, data, and operations are based in Switzerland.
Per-Minute Billing
Servers are billed per minute and billing stops when the machine is powered off, with no separate storage or network transfer charges.

Pros & Cons

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

SwissGPU

Advantages

Dedicated bare-metal GPU and compute resources for each client, with no virtualization layer.
Secure SSH access, with all data and the OS permanently wiped at the end of a rental.
Local-like experience with ultra-low latency remote desktops.
Published hourly rates for every GPU configuration, with per-minute billing and no storage or network fees.

Considerations

Consumer and workstation GPUs only — no datacenter accelerators such as H100 or B200 for large-scale training.
Single location: all capacity is in Switzerland, which adds latency for users outside Europe.
Electricity is metered and billed on top of the hourly rate, so the listed rate is not the full cost.

Compute Services
