If a 24 GB GPU is not available locally, rent one. The guide selects the cheapest practical instance per provider and covers provisioning and the provider-specific port-mapping requirements.

|------------|----------------------------|
| **AWS**    | NVIDIA L4 (`g6.8xlarge`)   |
| **GCP**    | NVIDIA L4 (`n4-highmem-16`)|
| **RunPod** | RTX 4090                   |
| **Vast.ai**| RTX 4090                   |
