Elastic compute benchmarking for AI workloads

Build a service that benchmarks and optimizes deep learning workloads across different elastic compute providers. Target AI researchers and engineers who need cost-effective scaling.

Why now

As AI models grow larger, researchers need flexible compute that scales dynamically with demand but lacks standardized benchmarking tools.

Subscription or pay-per-benchmark

Running large AI models requires burstable compute resources that can scale up/down based on workload needs. Current solutions lack transparent performance/cost benchmarks across providers.

Create a SaaS that automatically tests model training/inference across cloud GPU providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) with standardized benchmarks. Output ranking by price-performance for specific workload types.

Research labs and AI startups would pay for this to optimize cloud spend. The service could charge per benchmark or via subscription.

MVP: Simple CLI tool that runs predefined benchmarks on user's cloud accounts with basic cost-performance reports.

Biggest risk: Major cloud providers might release their own benchmarking tools, undercutting the need.
