Provider Overview
Strengths & Best For
IO.NET is a decentralized GPU network aggregating idle compute from data centers, crypto miners, and consumer hardware — including H100 and A100 — at prices typically well below traditional on-demand GPU cloud providers. The marketplace model enables batch AI inference, LLM training, and distributed workloads at dramatically reduced cost for teams comfortable with variable hardware reliability. A compelling option for crypto-native teams and cost-sensitive developers who can tolerate the trade-offs of a decentralized GPU network.
- Very low prices on H100 and A100
- Large pool of available GPUs
- Decentralized resilience
- Crypto-native billing
GPUaaS delivers H100 and A100 GPU compute as a fully managed service, enabling European AI teams to access high-performance GPU infrastructure without any infrastructure overhead or operational complexity. On-demand billing and a managed service model make it easy to scale AI training and inference workloads without dedicated DevOps resources. A strong choice for European AI teams that want managed GPU-as-a-service with EU data residency and minimal operational burden.
- Managed service
- Simple onboarding
- European presence
