It's possibility that I've considered, am still considering. Mostly because I am used to working locally, but also because I am not sure which works out cheapest in the end. For my use cases, if I need anything with more than 24 or 32 GB, it definitely makes sense to rent I thing. Those cards are extra pricy. Also, I keep the GPU and analysis computer for the lab after the grant ends, but I don't keep my budget for online conpute..that would go back to the Federal government, so it makes sense for some level of hardware to be around for lean times
I mean, Runpod is relatively cheap at that VRAM tier, it might be a good interim solution so you don't have to completely sit on your hands while you wait.
