What is the difference between a bare metal GPU and a cloud GPU?

A bare metal GPU is a physical GPU installed in a dedicated server that you own or lease, giving you full control over the hardware. This setup provides direct access to the GPU’s full performance, ensuring low latency, maximum customization, and no resource sharing—making it ideal for high-performance tasks like AI/ML training, rendering, and scientific simulations. However, it also means you’re responsible for maintenance, cooling, and power management. A cloud GPU, on the other hand, is a virtualized GPU resource hosted in a provider’s data center and accessed remotely over the internet. It offers flexibility and scalability, allowing you to rent GPUs like the RTX 3090 or RTX 4090 for specific tasks without upfront hardware costs. While cloud GPUs are convenient and cost-effective, they may involve shared resources, potential latency issues, and less control over hardware, which can impact performance for latency-sensitive applications.
