// Cost Comparison

The math is not close.

Trainium3 already undercuts H100 on raw training cost. We then route it through EdgeCloud — cutting out AWS margin entirely. That's where the savings come from.*

✦ Best Value

ThetaZero + Trainium3

Via Theta EdgeCloud — no AWS account needed

~$0.45 / GPU-hour

Up to 70% savings vs AWS*

✓ No AWS account or contract
✓ Pay per compute-hour, no commitments
✓ Trainium3 hardware: 4.4× faster than H100
✓ Deploy results to any cloud or on-prem
✓ Instant provisioning, no waitlists

AWS Direct

AWS Trainium via EC2

Requires AWS account, IAM setup, reserved capacity

~$1.50 / GPU-hour

3.3× more expensive

✗ AWS account + billing setup required
✗ Reserved instances or spot availability
✗ Locked into AWS ecosystem
✗ Egress fees on model downloads
✗ Enterprise contracts for volume discounts

GPU Alternative

H100 (any provider)

Comparable cloud GPU providers

~$2.50 / GPU-hour

5.5× more expensive

✗ 4.4× slower per compute-hour
✗ 5× worse tokens/megawatt efficiency
✓ Widely available on most platforms
✗ No Trainium-specific optimizations
✗ Higher energy cost per training run

* Pricing estimates based on Theta EdgeCloud published rates vs. AWS on-demand Trainium instance pricing as of early 2025. Actual savings vary by workload type, reservation commitment, and data transfer costs. Comparisons are approximate and for illustration purposes.

// Trainium3 Performance

Built for training at scale.

Trainium3 is purpose-built silicon for ML training workloads — not a GPU running training as an afterthought. Every watt counts when you're training billion-parameter models.

⚡

4.4×

Faster compute vs H100

Per AWS and Theta EdgeCloud performance data, Trainium3 delivers approximately 4.4× higher compute throughput per GPU-hour vs H100 on standard transformer training workloads. Fewer hours billed, same model quality.

🌿

5×

Higher output tokens/megawatt

5× better energy efficiency per output token. For teams with sustainability mandates or simply trying to minimize operating costs, this directly cuts your training carbon footprint and power bill.

💰

50%

Lower training cost vs H100

When combining higher throughput with lower per-hour pricing, the effective training cost per token is estimated at approximately 50% less vs H100. Actual results depend on workload and configuration. Fine-tune a 70B model for significantly less than comparable GPU cloud rates.

AWS dependencies required

No AWS account. No IAM roles. No VPC config. No egress fees. ThetaZero abstracts all of it — you submit a training job, we route it to Trainium via EdgeCloud, you get the weights back.

// How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

We handle the EdgeCloud routing, hardware provisioning, and AWS abstraction. You just submit a job and retrieve trained weights.

Deploy an agent on ThetaZero

Configure your training job through our dashboard or REST API. Specify model architecture, dataset path, hyperparameters, and target compute. Takes under 5 minutes.

POST /api/v1/jobs/training

Workload routes to Trainium via EdgeCloud

Our routing layer dispatches your job to the optimal Trainium node in the Theta EdgeCloud network. No AWS credentials leave your system. No account required on your end.

status: routed → trainium

Results returned — deploy anywhere

Trained model weights land in your specified storage bucket or ThetaZero's R2 store. Export to Hugging Face, S3, Azure Blob, or your own infrastructure. Zero vendor lock-in.

status: complete → weights ready

// Competitive Moat

First among decentralized platforms.

Among decentralized compute platforms, ThetaZero is the first with live Trainium access via Theta EdgeCloud. This isn't a roadmap item — it's running today.
