Bare-metal GPU infrastructure at cloud speeds

Stop paying
for the cloud tax.

Major cloud providers charge a premium for GPU access — you pay for virtualization overhead, regional markups, and commitment lock-in. We’re the independent GPU broker that finds you dedicated bare metal — full root, direct pricing, typically 30–50% lower per-GPU with no hypervisor tax. One conversation, the whole market.

// ADVICE & GUIDES
The answers you need before you sign

Straight, technical answers to the questions ML engineers, CTOs, and infrastructure leads actually ask — written by people who know this hardware every day. Each one links to a deeper guide.

Bare metal means direct, exclusive access to the physical GPU — no hypervisor between your code and the silicon. Cloud providers run virtualization that adds 10–20% overhead and take a 2–4x markup. On bare metal you pay hardware cost plus a modest margin. That is why our H100 is $2.50/hr vs $8–12/hr on major clouds. Read the full guide →
H100 (80GB HBM3) — Best for most training and inference. Great for models up to ~70B parameters per node.

H200 (141GB HBM3e) — Pick this when your model does not fit on an H100. About 20% more expensive but 10–20% faster memory bandwidth. If you are running 70B+ inference or training 100B+ parameter models, go H200. Otherwise H100 is the right call. Read the full guide →
Most clusters provision within 24–48 hours of contract signing. Large clusters (256+ GPUs) or specific regions can take 3–7 days. Spot instances sometimes go live same day. Talk to us with your exact requirements and we will give you an honest timeline. Read the full guide →
No minimum on spot/on-demand pricing — you just pay the ~15% spot premium. For reserved contracts we typically start at 30-day minimums. 3, 6, and 12-month terms unlock 5–15% discounts. We do not require multi-year commitments, though we can structure those if you want them. Read the full guide →
All clusters include InfiniBand (HDR or NDR depending on generation) for GPU-to-GPU communication. H100 configs ship with 400Gb/s HDR InfiniBand. Ethernet uplink is 10–100Gbps depending on the data center. We can spec out the exact topology before you sign. Read the full guide →
Yes. Bare metal means full root access to the OS. You install your own CUDA stack, containers, frameworks, and orchestration — we do not run a managed layer. Most customers come with Docker or Kubernetes, or use our base image (Ubuntu 22.04 + CUDA 12.x) as a starting point. Read the full guide →
Rough formula: GPU-hours = (model params B x dataset tokens B x 6) divided by (GPU TFLOPS x efficiency)

Example: 7B model on 1T tokens on H100s (989 TFLOPS FP16, ~40% real utilization) = about 106 H100-hours per GPU. On a 64-GPU cluster that is roughly 4.4 days wall time. Read the full guide →
