WHAT IS THE A100 80GB

The 80 GB A100 in either form factor is the market's reference point for large-model work: enough HBM to fine-tune 70B-class models, enough bandwidth to keep tensor cores fed, and a huge installed base that keeps hourly rates competitive. See the SXM and PCIe variant pages for form-factor specifics.

WHAT IT IS GOOD AT

Fine-tuning
The default chip for 7B-70B fine-tunes.
Large-model inference
80 GB serves a quantized 70B on one card.
MIG multi-tenant serving
Slices into seven 10 GB isolated instances.

WHO SHOULD NOT RENT THE A100 80GB

Cost-sensitive small-model serving - the HBM premium buys nothing a 24-48 GB card needs.
Frontier-scale pre-training.
