About the RTX 4090
The GeForce RTX 4090 (24 GB) is the price-performance king of consumer GPUs for AI. Ideal for Stable Diffusion, LLM inference up to ~13B (or larger quantised), and hobby fine-tuning. It ships with 24 GB of VRAM per GPU.
On-demand vs community and spot pricing
On-demand instances run at a fixed rate until you stop them. Community and spot offers (marketplaces like Vast.ai, RunPod community cloud) are often dramatically cheaper but can be interrupted or vary in reliability between hosts. For long training runs, weigh the price gap against the cost of checkpoint restarts; for interruptible inference and experimentation, the cheaper tiers are usually the rational pick.
