Sure itâ(TM)s autoroutes but you set your pieces and cost caps. Why run small stuff on an H100 when a 5090 will do fine. And you do so with any number of models you want and even have an agent to build and orchestrate all this for you Maybe you are all-in on being a rent paying slave to billionaire oligarchs who are out to tank our economy while depleting your water supply to nothing and making electricity so expensive that âoelights out Mondayâ will be the new âoemeatless Mondayâ.
