How these alternatives were chosen

Tools Lambda names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in AI. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.

Lambda also lists AWS EC2 GPU instances, Google Cloud TPU and GPU offerings, Azure GPU VMs, Paperspace, Vast.ai, CoreWeave as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
