GPU Cloud
The GPU cloud market shows clear bifurcation between AI-native infrastructure providers and traditional hyperscalers. Lambda and CoreWeave achieve >50% shortlist rates with consistent cross-model appeal (diversity=4), suggesting strong product-market fit for ML workloads. Mid-tier specialists RunPod and Vast.ai maintain 42-44% rates, likely competing on price and flexibility. Notably, Oracle and Microsoft trail at 24-26% despite massive scale, indicating enterprise cloud platforms haven't fully captured AI-specific compute demand where performance, availability, and ML-optimized tooling matter most.
