vast.ai has H100 at 1.93/h, H200 at 3.8/h but no 2500$ minimum. It's also possible to get a DPA with them, see where the machine is, this feels a bit comparatively dodgy
Precisely. BIS does not consider cloud compute services to be exports.
There are some rules around when you knowingly know that a customer is military or WMD, and you obviously can’t supply services to someone on the entity list; but KYC-through-credit card kinda works at small scale.
Seems fraudulent. Who’s the operator/owner?
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I like thundercompute for my personal stuff, especially a A6000 for 0.35/h when i want to do some training for example.
$1.09/GPU/hr for a H100!!
If interested in compute, please let me know, got capacity at market.

Curious, how do services like this stay compliant with export controls on these devices? I assume a credit card is all I need to access these things?
They do not export devices, they export services.

Not the cheapest. Many providers have spot H100s for $8-12, and H200s for slightly less than the above prices
Do you mean $8-12 per day? Otherwise I'm confused how it's cheaper.
