It's really a shame GPU slices aren't a thing -- a monthly cost of $1k for "a GPU" is just so far outside of what I could justify. I guess it's not terrible if I can batch-schedule a mega-gpu for an hour a day to catch up on tasks, but then I'm basically still looking at nearly $50/month.
I don't know exactly what type of cloud offering would satisfy my needs, but what's funny is that attaching an AMD consumer GPU to a Raspberry Pi is probably the most economical approach for a lot of problems.
Maybe something like a system where I could hotplug a full GPU into a system for a reservation of a few minutes at a time and then unplug it and let it go back into a pool?
FWIW it's that there's a large number of ML-based workflows that I'd like to plug into progscrape.com, but it's been very difficult to find a model that works without breaking the hobby-project bank.
