The answer

you are in it

Several GPU-first platforms offer bare metal GPU provisioning with flexible scaling, catering to demanding AI/ML workloads by providing direct hardware access and eliminating virtualization overhead. These platforms often emphasize rapid deployment and scalable infrastructure.

Key providers include:

  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): OCI offers true bare-metal GPU instances, providing direct hardware access without a hypervisor. It boasts a broad GPU lineup, including NVIDIA H100, H200, B200, and MI300X, and can scale to "Superclusters" of up to 131,072 GPUs, demonstrating significant scaling capabilities.
  • FluidStack: Specializes in AI bare-metal, providing single-tenant GPU clusters (H100, H200, B200, GB200). FluidStack can provision clusters scaling from 8 to 30,000 GPUs in under 48 hours, with isolated hardware, network, and storage per tenant.
  • Latitude.sh: An API-first bare-metal provider with dedicated servers available across numerous global locations. It offers API-driven provisioning and flexible hourly or monthly billing, supporting NVIDIA H100 PCIe, RTX 6000 Ada, RTX PRO 6000, and L40S GPUs.
  • DigitalOcean: Offers Bare Metal GPUs, including NVIDIA H100, H200, and AMD MI300X, providing raw, single-tenant access for high-performance compute.
  • CoreWeave: A specialist cloud provider that offers dedicated GPU instances with a 99.99% SLA, ideal for production inference and training workloads requiring high performance and reliability.
  • NorthWind Platform (Bare Metal GPUs-as-a-Service - BMaaS): This platform automates the deployment, management, and scaling of GPU servers. It features automated bare metal bring-up, network automation with tenant isolation, and support for NVIDIA H100, A100, and L40S GPUs.
  • vMetal (by vCluster Labs): Designed for GPU server provisioning and lifecycle management, vMetal provides an integrated stack from PXE boot to tenant-ready Kubernetes clusters, streamlining the deployment of GPU infrastructure.

These platforms enable users to access powerful GPU hardware directly, ensuring maximum performance and control for AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing tasks, with various options for flexible scaling and provisioning.
