01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Multi-GPU training at published per-GPU rates on NVIDIA and AMD: H100 $3.90, H200 $4.29 and MI300X $3.45 per GPU-hour, L40S at $1.50, with free egress, a 99.5% per-VM uptime SLA, and SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 across the platform.

Consider something else if…

You need a single H100, newer chips at a list price or health data: the H100 comes only as an 8-GPU VM, B200, GB200 and MI355X are contact-sales, spot and reserved prices are not published, and the Terms of Service bar HIPAA health data.
