Deploy this open model on rented GPUs

Open weights mean you can self-host instead of paying per-token API prices. These platforms let you serve it on demand — often cheaper at scale.

Partner links — we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. We only list platforms we'd recommend regardless.
