Neocloud
Lambda
The ML researcher's default: one-click clusters, sane pricing, no quota theater.
Lambda built its brand on frictionless GPU rental, sign up, launch an H100 in minutes, pay by the second... plus large reserved 1-Click Clusters with InfiniBand. Pricing sits well below hyperscalers and the fleet tracks NVIDIA's roadmap closely.
