This is a great solution for a very specific type of team but I think most companies with consistent GPU workloads will still just rent dedicated servers and call it a day.

I agree, and cloud compute is poised to become even more commoditized in the coming years (gazillion new data centers + AI plateauing + efficiency gains, the writing is on the wall). There’s no way this makes sense for most companies.

It's the opposite. The more consistent your workload the more practical and cost-effective it is to go on-prem.

Cloud excels for bursty or unpredictable workloads where quickly scaling up and down can save you money.
