I wasted ~$100+ testing GPU clouds so you don't have to
47 hours, 5 providers, 1 Llama-3-70B fine-tuning
winner: GPUhub at $16.92
loser: Lambda at ~$45 (storage fees got me)

Real pricing. Real testing. No sponsorships. This is one of the few GPU cloud comparisons that actually feels unbiased. If you’re choosing between providers, this is worth a read.

The full Gemma 4 family is now fine-tunable on your Mac! 🍏✨
You can now fine-tune the entire family locally with mlx-tune:
✅ E2B & E4B (Text, Vision, Audio)
✅ 26B-A4B MoE & 31B Dense (Text, Vision)
The best part? No complex routing. One unified FastVisionModel API handles it all. Want to train the built-in Conformer for ASR or Audio QA? Just flip the boolean flags and hit train.
5 complete example scripts are up in the repo! 👇

Most “AI case studies” I see feel like marketing slides.
The ones I actually care about are the simple, honest ones:
– here’s what we tried
– here’s how long it took
– here’s how much VRAM and money it actually used
@hub_gpu is starting to collect stories in that direction — more “real experiments”, less buzzwords. If you’re into that kind of thing, worth keeping an eye on 👇

This is what my “ML lab” looks like now:
– modest machine at home
– rent a 24GB GPU only when I actually need it
– run YOLO/SDXL/LLM experiments end‑to‑end, then shut it down
Instead of a 4090 in my room, I get a GPU I can turn on/off like this 👇
Different GPU options I’ve used:
– Colab/Kaggle → great for demos, sessions/timeouts get in the way for multi‑hour training
– RunPod/Vast → lots of raw power, but node quality/configs vary, you need to babysit jobs
– local GPU → nice latency, but you pay in upfront cost + maintenance
For most of my workloads (YOLO on non‑toy data, SDXL, 7B LoRA), the best trade‑off so far has been:
– rent a 24–32GB GPU
– treat it like a lab bench (spin up → experiment → shut down)
I’ve been using GPUhub @hub_gpu for that pattern:

Deployed on GPUHub @hub_gpu
(Singapore-A | G067-R | RTX PRO 6000 — ~$0.91/hr)
Setup was simple, & within minutes I had a powerful environment ready.
Built a full ComfyUI pipeline with:
✔️ Stable Diffusion
✔️ ControlNet (structured outputs)
✔️ InstantID (consistent faces)
2/3
Trained YOLOv8 on VisDrone with an RTX 5090. No instability. No wasted time. Dedicated GPUs hit different. #AI#MachineLearning#YOLOv8#GPU#DeepLearning

Yaay! 🎉 Just noticed the repo crossed 800+ stars and 50+ forks.
It is honestly the best feeling to see a personal project you built for your own workflow actually helping out so many other developers.
Huge thanks to everyone testing it and contributing!
Trained YOLOv8 on the VisDrone dataset (dense aerial scenes) & ran the full workflow end-to-end training, validation, inference, & export.
100 epochs finished in ~1.1h with solid results (mAP50 ≈ 0.41).
Handled crowded scenes surprisingly well.
Great experience, TY @hub_gpu 👏
