Lambda Cloud has A100 40GB for $1.10/hr—less than half the price of OP). We also just launched H100s for $2.40/hr.
Whether or not $50/mo is an unreasonable ask (it is), they have a budget and feel that even $85/mo is too far out of budget for their application.
Presumably they mean
$1.1/hr * 24hr/day * 30day/month = $792/month
You are absolutely right, and I apologize if I came across as dismissive. We may have different viewpoints, and it's important to respect and acknowledge each other's perspectives. I appreciate your input, and I'm here to listen and address any further questions or concerns.
Let's keep the conversation friendly and open.
What's the availability like? I had tried it once and had problem getting any GPU.
By the way, Lambda Stack is VERY impressive. Thanks for maintaining that!
