world best cloud GPU platform I love Runpod

I would only use runpod, if using the community cloud platform. Their secure cloud platform uses archaic CPUs with very low clock speed that practically makes most training much slower for mixed workflows. Additionally their CPU only pods are ridiculously outdated. I tried using their "CPU5" level pod, which is supposed to be 5GHZ of high performance usage. I received a heavily outdated AMD EPYC 4564P, which performed terribly.

Overall, RunPod delivers a strong service with dependable infrastructure, and their support is consistently fast and effective. The main drawback is limited availability of certain community GPU instances (e.g., A6000) as well as occasional issues with network performance.

PODs are easy to create with the provide API. Calculations are stable. However, streamlined process to create a volume on a data center which has available resources matching the calculation needs is to be improved. File transfer speed on some data centers needs to be improved. Sometimes it’s difficult to have a GPU available with the required card. I wish à queuing system would exist, one would specify the GPU card type and region, launch their calculation which would start whenever the resource is available.

Great support team that helped me a lot as soon as I hit a road block. Can highly recommend, viable platform to train LLMs.

I tried this because I was looking for reliable and cost-effective alternatives. RunPod amazing! Very easy to use. I had a small issue and got super friendly, fast, and professional support. Highly recommended.

From my experience, support has been incredible—a swift response with a technical handling that shows patience and understanding of client queries. Overall, the technology and service are simply amazing.

Prompt response and no long wait times and expertise and eagerness to solve the problem
