I’m currently trying to figure out where it is the cheapest to host these models and use them.

I realized that a lot of the finetunings are not available on common llm api sites, i want to use nous capybara 34b for example but the only one that offered that charged 20$/million tokens which seemed quite high, considering that i see Lama 70b for around 0.7$/million tokens.

So are there any sites where i could host custom finetunes and get similar rates to the one mentioned?

      The startup time makes Replicate nearly unusable for me. Only popular models stay in memory. Other less used models shutdown, and you need to wait for startup before first inference.

      that is nearly 2.1$ per hour. on https://runpod.io, you could get an a40 for 0.79$ / hr. for a 34b model, 24gb vram is more than enough so you could get a A5000 for around 0.44$ / hr
