Show HN: Free Hosted JupyerLab with GPU

12 points| danbmil99 | 4 years ago |cloudburst.host

Hi,

This is Dan and Genevieve from Burstable AI. We've iterated and made a 45 degree pivot, taking what we learned from developing burst (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28191459) to introduce a cloud service that provides access to a GPU-enabled machine using Jupyterlab to provide notebooks, shell access, and a code/text editor. GPU access is measured and the first 50 hours are free.

This is *not* a platform to do crypto mining or run weeks of model training for free. We are focused on the R & D phase of modern AI/ML, where developers/scientists are iterating, testing, and measuring results. We are running a beta program with a few seats left to get feedback and constructive directions for how to make Cloudburst a killer environment for modern exploratory AI/ML research, whether you are a high-school student hacking on the weekend, a small team at a startup, or a consultant building ML pipelines for SmB's (or some other user story we haven't thought of yet).

Presently, signup is through your github account. If you have questions, please email us at [email protected].

Thanks to all our beta folks!

Some questions come to mind I'd like to see answered before signing up:

* How does the platform ensure safety of the data? Where will it be hosted? * Are any resources shared? * Will there be a selection of different GPU available or is the assumption that one size will fit all? * How does it differ from other GPU cloud providers that offer ready to use Jupyter notebooks? (E.g. https://support.genesiscloud.com/support/solutions/articles/... or https://saturncloud.io/)

The punchlines from the joke machine seem to reflect a Russian sense of humor, eg: “How is a pregnant woman different from a lightbulb?” “Because the lightbulb will never light itself!”

Is it the source material or some emergent phenomena?
