The cost of renting GPUs from hyperscalers like AWS can be three to six times higher than newer AI cloud providers. But price isn't everything. This episode breaks down the structural reasons for the price gap, the hidden traps like data egress fees and compliance ceilings, and provides a practical decision framework for choosing between Modal, RunPod, Nebius, and Baseten. We explore when developer experience trumps raw cost, the importance of InfiniBand for training, and how to avoid lock-in.
