Granted, I can see the certain appeal of Fusion.

Fusion is to Blender as MS Word is to Pages.

Fusion feels like MS Word: workflow feels odd, certain functions don't work as you'd expect, certain functions don't work for no obvious reason, and certain logical keyboard shortcuts don't exist for whatever reason.

The "Fillet" operation in Fusion should really be called "bevel"...it's reminding me of some fancy steak

Whoops, not $1 but $0.01 😄

Interesting; in that case, going for a GPU rental is much better than Colab!

Can get a similarly specced (13GB RAM/113GB Storage/2vCPU) RTX A4000 (which has an extra GB of VRAM and outperforms T4) for roughly $1 less!

Even if we use Colab's L4, which has the same RAM as a RTX4090, you can get an RTX4090 for ~$0.40–$0.45/hr which has more flops. L4 here on Colab is at ~$0.49/hr.

And then GPU renters provide access to a "whole Linux machine" you can SSH into, whereas Colab is NB frontend+terminal access

Interesting; from the screenshot, if we take a common GPU, V100 is 4.91creds/hr, so roughly 20.5 hours of runtime @ ~$0.49/hr. In this case, a GPU rental like Tensordock looks to be much more economical than Colab?

For $10 on Colab: 20.5 hours of V100 use
For $10 on Tensordock: 33 hours of V100

Same RTX4090 machine is ~$0.45/hr.

Interesting. Do you know how many hours you get in these + tiers? I suppose it breaks down to how many GPU hours you can get in these upped tiers.

I just checked on Tensordock and you can get a V100 there (256GB/32GB/8vCPU) for ~$0.30/hr. Same A100 machine is ~$1.20/hr.

Interesting. From what you've written, Paperspace seems like the better default deal, since A4000>T4 from what I've seen.

I've only used GPU rent-by-the-hour, and for ref, A4000 is ~$0.11/hr, and an RTX4090 is ~$0.45/hr.

If you bite, tell us how it goes :P

On a tangent: is the $10/mo proposition on Colab a better deal than going for GPU rentals ala Paperspace, Tensordock, etc?
