NVIDIA GPU Guide: H100 for LLM Training, L40S for GenAI

When selecting hardware for machine learning projects, consider specific GPU models based on the task rather than defaulting to the most expensive options. The NVIDIA H100 is recommended for large language model training, while the L40S offers high efficiency for generative AI inference. The A100, particularly the 80GB version, is highlighted as a strong choice for data science workloads. To optimize performance, deploying these GPUs on bare-metal servers is advised over virtualized cloud environments. AI
