The choice between NVIDIA's A100 and H100 GPUs for LLM training hinges on a cost-benefit analysis based on hourly pricing and performance gains. While the H100 offers significantly higher theoretical compute speeds, its actual advantage for a specific training job depends on whether the performance increase justifies its higher hourly cost. Factors like memory-bound versus compute-bound workloads, model size, and data loading efficiency play crucial roles in determining which GPU provides a cheaper finished training job. AI
