vast.ai has H100 at 1.93/h, H200 at 3.8/h but no 2500$ minimum. It's also possible to get a DPA with them, see where the machine is, this feels a bit comparatively dodgy

Not the cheapest. Many providers have spot H100s for $8-12, and H200s for slightly less than the above prices

Do you mean $8-12 per day? Otherwise I'm confused how it's cheaper.

Curious, how do services like this stay compliant with export controls on these devices? I assume a credit card is all I need to access these things?

They do not export devices, they export services.

Precisely. BIS does not consider cloud compute services to be exports.

There are some rules around when you knowingly know that a customer is military or WMD, and you obviously can’t supply services to someone on the entity list; but KYC-through-credit card kinda works at small scale.
