Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Crypto payment. Cons Poor choice of GPUs. Poor choice of GPUs' configurations such as cpu, storage etc.. No customer service. GPU instance (H100) goin for 1h+		Pros from Real Users Pros As an AI developer using Runpod for a few months now: it’s been a great platform for training and deploying my models. The ability to launch GPU pods so quickly has made a huge difference in my workflow. Cold-start times are almost instantaneous, which means I spend less time waiting and more time experimenting and iterating on my AI projects. Runpod offers a wide range of GPU options, from NVIDIA’s latest H100s to AMD MI300Xs, which covers everything I need for both research-level experiments and larger scale training jobs. The support for custom containers is excellent, so I can bring my own environment or use the many preconfigured templates. The autoscaling serverless infrastructure adapts perfectly to varying workloads, and the real-time logs and analytics help me understand how my models are performing in production. Security and compliance, including SOC2 certification, give me peace of mind when deploying sensitive models.
