Thunder Compute Reviews & Product Details

I find Thunder Compute's setup very easy; it's really a plug-and-play experience for me. I appreciate how I can select my requirements through their console application and have the VM up and running in just a few minutes. I love using Thunder Compute to access GPUs and Linux VMs on the go, which is amazing for trying out new models from places like Hugging Face or GitHub. Additionally, I like that the development team listens to feedback, which shows they care about user experience. The extension for VS Code is also something I use, which adds to the convenience.

Occasionally there are sudden interrupts which may cause a bit of trouble in the VM connection and my own machine, but it happens like 1 in 100 times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Thunder Compute for training and fine-tuning AI models. It's great for training complex neural models and iterating quickly due to its cost-effectiveness. I like their CLI tool and VSCode integration, and the immediate SSH connection without hassle is top-tier. Thunder Compute is affordable, accessible, and the compute units don't expire, offering near equal pricing to other solutions. The initial setup was easier than expected; just install an extension in VSCode, sign in, and you're done. I would even rate my likelihood of recommending it a 10 because I already can't stop recommending it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not like it doesn't work well, but their snapshots are a little slow sometimes. Mostly during backup and restore times. Again, it's not that big of an issue since it's not billed time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Thunder Compute's competitive prices, especially for GPUs. It's kind of crazy how much cheaper they are compared to, like, PrimeIntellect. The customer support is really good, I think. Their CLI is very nice to use, making it super easy to get started and to spin up a box in just a few seconds. I also find the templates they provide very helpful. The setup was extremely easy, with the CLI download process being very straightforward. Plus, they match your initial input of credits, which was nice. Overall, it's very easy to use, especially with their snapshot system that allows you to stop an instance if needed. I'm quite happy with my experience and would definitely recommend it as a great place for GPU compute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could create my own custom templates. Right now, they only provide templates for certain interfaces, but I understand they have this idea in the works. Also, I feel like the snapshot storage could be a bit cheaper. It's priced okay, but a slightly lower cost would be nicer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The modify instance feature is great for quickly swapping between training and troubleshooting/data processing (it allows you to swap GPU type and CPU/RAM) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recent price increases and lack of CPU only instances (very helpful for cost efficient development when you aren't there training) and H100 supply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Thunder Compute offers cheap GPU options, which helps me spend less money. Setting it up was very easy as I just downloaded the CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

H100 GPUs never in stock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how the pricing is super affordable, and I appreciate that they give students free $20 on signup. As both a founder and a student, that support genuinely means a lot to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI still needs some work. A few things still feel broken, but overall it’s fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s seamless to use, and SSH isn’t handicapped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didnt see SXM2 H100s in the offerings. Would have liked that for a little more speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
