HACKER Q&A

AI Cloud Computing, is it cheaper than the OpenAI API in the end?


The question assumes to use the Llama 3.1 405b model.

When it’s cheaper via cloud (per token), which provider would you recommend to me, with focus on saving much money possible?

If you will be training a model for a specific purpose you should definitely be using an architecture fit for the purpose. But if you would like to experiment with the most recently released models you can go to https://chatllm.abacus.ai/JBDrthHYkz (Disclaimer: it is a referral link) and create an account for 10$/month without worrying about the number of tokens you will use. Or for the pay-per-use model, you can check out https://openrouter.ai/models for the really rich catalog of models available.

The two are completely different things. Depends what your requirements are.
