GPU Cloud
The GPU cloud category shows remarkable concentration at the top, with Lambda and CoreWeave each earning ~50% shortlist rates across 4 diverse models, while RunPod and Vast.ai follow closely at 42-44%. The presence of hyperscalers Oracle and Microsoft in the top 8 (at 24-26%) suggests enterprises evaluate GPU clouds alongside traditional cloud providers, though specialized providers dominate recommendations. With 27 consensus brands but only 12 evaluated, the market appears bifurcated between established players that models consistently recommend and a long tail of emerging providers.
