Pay Per Token, or Rent the GPU?

APIs win for spiky, low-volume workloads. A flat-rate GPU server wins when you push tokens around the clock — open-weight models like Llama 3.3 70B can run on hardware you rent by the month. Our guide maps model sizes to VRAM requirements and the live cheapest server that clears each bar.
