Hyperscaler
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
The hyperscaler that prices like a neocloud. Bare-metal GPU shapes with no virtualization tax.
OCI sells GPUs as bare-metal shapes (BM.GPU.H100.8 etc.) at list prices well under AWS/Azure, often the cheapest hyperscaler H100. Big RDMA cluster networking. The catch is a smaller managed-services ecosystem.

Strengths
- Lowest hyperscaler list prices
- Bare metal by default
- Large RDMA superclusters
Watch for
- Thinner managed AI tooling
- Region coverage below AWS/GCP
