TPU vs GPU cost calculator

Interactive calculator comparing cloud ML training costs across hardware types. For ML engineers planning deployments.

Why now

New TPU support in PyTorch creates fresh need for cost comparison tools.

Who for
ML engineers
Business model
SaaS subscriptions
Effort
A weekend

Teams waste cloud credits choosing suboptimal hardware for their ML workloads.

Build a web app that estimates $/epoch across TPU/GPU/CPU based on model architecture and dataset size.

Charge SaaS fees with premium features like historical price tracking.

MVP could use published benchmarks with simple sliders for parameters.

Risk: Cloud providers may release competing tools.
