Pros & Cons

Scaleway

Advantages

Considerations

Wafer

Advantages

High-throughput serving with results independently benchmarked on Artificial Analysis
Prompt caching with discounted cached-input rates
Dedicated endpoints set up in under 24 hours
Runs across NVIDIA, AMD, and AWS Trainium accelerators rather than a single vendor

Considerations

Small serverless model catalog centered on the GLM family
Inference only - no GPU rental, training, or fine-tuning hosting
Early-stage company with a smaller ecosystem than established inference providers
