      NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton - Pros & Cons

      Pros

      • ✓One platform can reduce separate integrations with multiple GPU suppliers
      • ✓Serverless inference can scale workloads down when idle
      • ✓Region-diverse capacity helps teams plan around GPU shortages

      Cons

      • ✗Exact supplier rates, platform fees, and contractual terms were not verifiable in this run
      • ✗Actual cost and availability vary by GPU, region, and cloud partner
      • ✗A marketplace layer does not eliminate model optimization or cloud-governance work

      Lambda - Pros & Cons

      Pros

      • ✓Cutting-edge GPU availability (H200/B200) when hyperscalers are constrained
      • ✓Raw VM access with SSH/root — full control of environment and CUDA stack
      • ✓Reserved pricing is meaningfully cheaper than AWS/GCP for the same silicon
      • ✓1-Click Clusters remove the InfiniBand wiring pain for multi-node training

      Cons

      • ✗Not serverless — you pay for the VM whether it's busy or idle
      • ✗Less mature platform tooling than hyperscalers (smaller managed-services menu)
      • ✗Public per-hour rates aren't in one easy table; verification needed
      • ✗Cold starts of new on-demand capacity can take minutes during supply crunches
