When to pick RunPod
Best for
- Distributed training where InfiniBand interconnect matters.
- Regulated workloads requiring SOC 2 / HIPAA.
- Teams that need real human support and SLA-backed uptime.
Avoid for
- One-off short workloads — the per-hour premium adds up.
- Hobbyist single-GPU jobs that don't need premium support.
