💡 IT leaders are navigating the high costs of generative AI experimentation. The rise of GPU-as-a-service is a popular strategy to manage these expenses. With Nvidia's dominance leading to premium pricing, alternatives like AWS Trainium, Google Tensor Processor Units, and OEM solutions from Dell and HPE are being explored. 🔄 CIOs are also turning to GPU-as-a-service providers like CoreWeave, Equinix, and Paperspace, which offer cost-effective, on-demand GPU power. This approach helps balance the need for robust computing power with budget constraints. 💼 Key considerations include using virtual machines with diverse GPU configurations, spot instances for discounted power, and containerized AI frameworks for efficient resource use. FinOps principles can further aid in managing costs by ensuring visibility and control over expenditures. 💡 Another cost-saving strategy is to utilize open-source models and domain-specific solutions, especially for tasks with a smaller scope.
