Thank you. I have scientific team so our PhD is requesting GPU for SD training. Our other team is using Midjourney but there is no API to it, so they happy but we can’t move forward due to lack of API.

The cloud vs local debate depends on your needs though.

Azure has cheap A100 spot instances. Only 1$ per hour per A100. Up until now I have always gotten my instances immediately and I have only been kicked out twice in over 100 training runs (each run lasts a couple hours). So I am very happy with it at the moment and would highly recommend it
