Dynamic Allocation: Scaling VRAM to the Task

Choosing the Body for the Brain

In a locked subscription, you get what you’re given. In a hybrid stack, your environment (the Snapshot) is separate from the hardware.

Optimization Logic

• Linear Inference (Coding/Text): Use the RTX 4000 Ada (20GB VRAM) at $0.76/hr. It’s the “efficiency zone” for 8B-70B models.
• Heavy Work (Video/3D): Use the AMD MI300X (192GB VRAM) at $1.99/hr. Massive VRAM prevents Memory (OOM) errors and finishes parallel tasks faster, saving money on total runtime.

Rule of Thumb: scale spend based on the linearity of the task. Text is cheap; Video is an investment.
