Overall, the Google GPU Cluster experience is Gold tier! Great work from the Google team, going from Bronze to Gold in less than 2 years! That being said, the GCP GPU experience is less refined than that of our Platinum providers, CoreWeave and Nebius. The console feels like the DMV compared to the streamlined UIs of the younger, more focused neoclouds. Access required a Google Cloud CLI that was occasionally uncooperative, sometimes forcing us to switch to the browser-based connection in Google’s console, which was also unreliable. (1/2)🧵
