GPU Selection by Workload
| Workload | Recommended GPU | Why |
|---|---|---|
| LLM inference (7-13B) | A100 80GB | Good balance of memory and cost |
| LLM inference (70B+) | 8xH100 | NVLink for tensor parallelism |
| Image generation | L40 | Good for diffusion models |
| Training (large models) | 8xH100 SXM5 | Fastest interconnect |
| Batch processing | A100 40GB | Cost-effective |
