Hey HN, just wanted to post here to say that if you need more than 6 hours training (free tier limit) we offer a 4x GPU machine that is only $1.5/hour. Just wanted to let everybody know what kind of competition is out there while you're doing your price comparisons:

I'd be interested in whatever you could offer that's lowest specs in every respect except GPU ram. So 1 GPU, moderate to low everything else, but 24GB of RAM. Right now there's no great way to run those cheaply, even if I want to do something that might only take a few hours.

Does a card like that exist? Last time I shopped for them (a few years ago) it didn't.

It does and we offer it. It's called the P6000 and it includes 24GB GPU RAM. It's one of the most popular chips we offer for any kind of CV task as you can fit a ton of images, video frames etc. in GPU memory. In any case, here's a link to the full lineup we offer: https://gradient.paperspace.com/instances

Perhaps you could try CPU training. I believe it should take about 10x longer on a many-core machine, but still might be worth it (if you require lots of RAM and can afford to wait). There are also various techniques to reduce memory usage.

Paperspace team here. We offer a 24GB GPU option with minimal RAM. Check out the P6000 here: https://gradient.paperspace.com/instances Hope that's what you're looking for :)
