Foundry's GPU cloud opens for business, ish
Briefly

Foundry Cloud Platform aims to simplify AI model deployment by providing reserved GPU clusters, maintaining a pool of hot spares, and offering preemptible spot instances at significantly lower prices.
The company's strategy includes renting out hot spare nodes as preemptible spot instances, allowing customers to use them for smaller workloads like inferencing or fine tuning at prices 12-20x lower than other cloud providers.
Foundry emphasizes offering features like hosted Kubernetes clusters, disk state saving, and auto-mounting persistent storage to ensure uninterrupted operation of inference workloads even if underlying nodes are re-tasked.
Despite mainstream cloud providers focusing on web apps, Foundry aims to provide a comprehensive AI infrastructure solution that tackles the specific challenges of deploying, fine-tuning, and rolling out AI models.
