Finding a cheap A100 for the ~$2 verification run
Hi! I like the "Verify this card for ~$2" section on lil'beastie. Giving people a short, priced way to re-run the eval is a nice touch.
For anyone who tries it, the A100-80GB price varies a lot between providers. Lantern Works is a free comparison of GPU rental prices across providers, with the source and last-checked time on every row, so it could help readers find a card for that re-run: https://thelanternworks.com/gpu/?ref=forge-hf-luzcommand
There's an MCP server too, if you script your evals: uvx lantern-works-deals-mcp
Heads up: some links on the site are referral links.
If this isn't welcome here, just let me know and I'll stop.

Hey thanks a. For checking it out. And b for the recommendation.
I don’t mind the referral links if it’s from a person and not a bot. I’m just happy somebody is looking at my tersification and abstention work
