Ep. 033 - ClusterMAX 3.0 Is Here! Neoclouds Ranked (Neoclouds, GPUs) | Sam Harshe, Pratt Bhatt, Jordan Nanos

GPU cloud quality varies wildly on reliability, security, and networking even as extreme demand lets nearly every provider profit regardless.

• New rankings out: ClusterMAX 3.0 tested 77 GPU cloud providers (covering a 323-provider universe) and 200+ end-user interviews; Nebius joined CoreWeave in Platinum, Google Cloud joined Oracle in Gold, Azure fell to Silver, and AWS/Crusoe/Together dropped to Bronze.
• Endpoint caching hurts margins: One major inference provider had only a 75% cache hit rate vs 99% for top peers, nearly doubling customer costs on an 800k-token trace test.
