Pros & Cons

Modal

Advantages

Serverless model removes idle-instance costs
Per-second billing across the full GPU range
Strong fit for inference, batch jobs and ML pipelines

Considerations

Long-running, fixed-instance training is not the primary use case
Cold starts and storage limits require some application design
No bare-metal access; workloads run inside Modal's runtime

Oblivus

Advantages

Transparent per-GPU on-demand pricing across the catalog
Multiple H100 SKU options (SXM5, NVLink, PCIe)
RTX-class GPUs available for cost-sensitive workloads
ISO 27001, Type 2 SOC 1, Type 2 SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance at both multi-tenant sites

Considerations

Smaller global footprint than hyperscalers
Multi-tenant capacity is limited to two locations (Montreal and Oslo)
Less established brand than the largest neoclouds
