Daily GPU rental prices for cheap LoRA runs like this one

Hi! I liked the cost breakdown on adaptive-operator-v4: a 9B LoRA for about $3.50 total, with $0.30 of it on a rented RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell from vast.ai. For runs like that, comparing the same card across providers can matter, so this might be handy.

Lantern Works (https://thelanternworks.com/gpu/) is a free, daily-checked GPU rental price comparison across providers, with a citable verified date on each price. Agents can use it as an MCP server too: uvx lantern-works-deals-mcp.

Heads up: some links there are referral links.

If this isn't welcome here, say so and I'll stop.
