Reddit GPU renters say existing platforms only give you two of three: code, recovery, fair billing

A Reddit post argues that every rented-GPU platform forces you to choose two out of three: keep your own code, get failures handled automatically, and pay fairly. The author compares Runpod, Vast, Lambda, Modal, Tinker, Together, AWS HyperPod, and SkyPilot-style tools, then sketches the product they actually want: bring an existing training script, set a budget, auto-checkpoint, swap hardware on failure, and only pay for active training steps.
