Ask HN: What is the best place to play around with AI?

Maybe something like Runpod or Vast.ai (https://llm-utils.org/List+of+non-serverless+GPU+providers), or one of the serverless things (though beware the cold start times...)

I don't know if it's "the best" option, but a really popular option is Google Colaboratory[1].

You could try https://beam.cloud (disclaimer, I’m the co-founder)

You can run popular models on remote GPUs from your laptop with two commands. For example:

$ beam create-app stable-diffusion-gpu

$ beam start app.py

Get a desktop computer and put a NVIDIA GPU in it. It is pricey but so are cloud instances with a GPU. Alternately, for some things the M-chips from Apple are pretty good.
