NVIDIA A100
A100 80GB SXM4 is the Ampere workhorse: 80 GB HBM2e, about 2.0 TB/s, NVLink at 600 GB/s, and MIG if you want to split the card. The catalog host is 14 vCPUs and 100 GB of RAM. It remains the right spend for 7B–30B training and quantized 70B inference when you do not need FP8.

The card you use when Hopper is wasted
A100 80GB SXM is Ampere: 80 GB of HBM2e at about 2.0 TB/s, NVLink at 600 GB/s, and MIG if you want to partition the GPU. There is no FP8 and no Transformer Engine. FP16, BF16, and TF32 are the precisions that matter. The menu host is 14 vCPUs and 100 GB of RAM.
That is enough for 7B–30B training and for a quantized 70B serve. A full 70B in FP16 does not fit. QLoRA is how most people touch 70B on one A100. Eight of them on NVLink, with FSDP or DeepSpeed, is a normal fine-tune cluster.
Why it is still in the menu
H100 is about 1.6× the bandwidth and adds FP8. That is a real gap on transformer training above 30B and on FP8 inference. It is not a real gap on a BERT-scale job, a ResNet, a recommender batch, or a 13B LoRA. Paying Hopper or Blackwell rates for those jobs is how budgets disappear.
MIG splits one A100 into smaller instances when several light jobs would otherwise each take a whole card. Use it for inference tenants and notebooks. Do not use it for a job that needed the full 80 GB and NVLink.
Moving up or down
Move up to H100 when the profile shows FP8 or when a 30B-plus training step is the bottleneck. Move up to H200 when the same Hopper job runs out of memory. Move down to a 24 GB consumer card to debug the container, then come back.
The live ask is on the marketplace. A100 offers are usually the cheapest datacenter HBM in the list. Read the median before you take an outlier, and stop the pod when the epoch ends.
Comparação entre gerações
A100 is the cost line under Hopper. Move up only when FP8 or more memory shows up in the profile.

Cargas indicadas para NVIDIA A100
LLM training and fine-tuning
The comfortable range is 7B–30B in mixed precision. QLoRA is how a 70B model lands on one 80 GB card. Eight A100s on NVLink are a normal fine-tune cluster.
Production inference
INT8, INT4, and FP16 paths are mature. MIG splits one card when several light models would otherwise each take a GPU.
Classic ML and vision
BERT, ResNet, recommenders, and anything that never asked for FP8. Paying Hopper rates for these jobs is how budgets disappear.
Analytics and light HPC
RAPIDS and other data-frame work that wants a large HBM buffer. FP64 is 9.7 TFLOPS, so heavy simulation still wants H100.
Quando escolher NVIDIA A100
01
Pick the A100 for 7B–30B and a mature stack
Training, fine-tuning, quantized 70B serving, and classic ML. You trade FP8 throughput for a lower ask than Hopper.
02
Pick the H100 for FP8
Transformer Engine and about 1.6× the bandwidth. Make the jump when that speedup pays for the higher ask, especially above 30B.
03
Pick an L40S for cheaper inference
48 GB, no NVLink, strong enough for sub-30B inference and batch image or video. Not a multi-GPU training fabric.
04
Pick a 24 GB consumer card to debug
A 4090-class GPU is the cheap way to prove a container. Move the same image here when you need 80 GB, ECC, MIG, or NVLink.
What still belongs here
7B–30B training, QLoRA on a 70B, BERT-scale jobs, and RAPIDS. The stack is the most exercised CUDA target in production.
Menu host
14 vCPUs and 100 GB of RAM with 80 GB of VRAM. Enough for one training process. Not a multi-GPU chassis.
