Pros & Cons
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
Limitations
- 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
