Which cloud GPU should you rent to fine-tune an LLM, and what does a run cost?
Pick the card by the VRAM your fine-tune needs, not by the biggest name. On Nov 3, 2026 a 24GB RTX 4090 rented for a $0.47/hr median on Vast.ai ($0.89 on Runpod), enough for QLoRA up to about 14B; a 70B QLoRA needs an 80GB A100 from about $0.95/hr. Here is the card for each job and the math for a run.
