GPU cloud alternatives, by the job you're actually running

A generic "alternatives" list is not useful. A fine-tuning run and a batch transcription job want different GPUs and tolerate different failure modes. Every page below states what the job actually needs, live rates for the GPUs it wants, and how to run it on Aquanode today.
