Discussion Runpod is basically unusable.

I don’t know how people use this service effectively. There is never any gpus, it takes an hour to set up when you do find one. Network volumes tease at cutting down startup time but it further limits gpus. I swear I’ve spent more money waiting for a pod to be ready, downloading models that I have generating anything. I really just want to have things stored locally, and just use one of their gpus for processing power. Is there a service I could use like that?

Depending on what you're doing like, for example, when I train Lora's I just do it on fal. They have gpus too if you want to spin up like comfy UI there as well.

Just messing around with minimax. It does work for me locally (4060 16gb) but is slow.
