- Self-hosted Qwen2.5 72B: $20/month, unlimited requests - Qwen2.5 72B: Matches or beats Claude 3.5 Sonnet on MATH, AIME, and reasoning benchmarks. Open weights. No licensing headaches.
- vLLM: Serves models 10-40x faster than standard inference through tensor parallelism, paged attention, and continuous batching. Built for production.
- DigitalOcean GPU Droplets: $20/month for an H100 or L40S. Literally the cheapest GPU cloud option that doesn't require 3 hours of Terraform.
- FastAPI: Minimal overhead, sub-millisecond routing, built-in async. - Python 3.10+
- FastAPI + Uvicorn - Log into DigitalOcean and navigate to Create → Droplets
- Select GPU under "Specialized Compute"
- Choose H100 (80GB) or L40S (48GB) — both work; H100 is faster
- Select Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as the OS
- Choose a region close to your users (US East, EU, etc.)
- Add your SSH key and create the Droplet
