After switching through providers like AWS, GCP, and Nebius, a small AI team found that the value proposition of big-name clouds didn't work for their scale. The author asks the community for practical insights:

- What are the things you only realized mattered after you were already locked in with a provider?
The discussion focuses on the real pain points and lessons learned in compute infrastructure selection.
