AI and LLM apps
Combine filters →Most AI applications are ordinary web applications with an unusual request shape: a call to a model API that takes seconds, a response streamed to the browser, and timeouts tuned accordingly. The expensive part is the model provider’s bill, not the hosting. Where a provider means GPUs rather than that, it is a different product entirely — those are listed under GPU cloud.
51 providers market themselves for ai and llm apps, listed alphabetically. Mostly gpu cloud, platform as a service and serverless, of 11 categories in all. 46 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.

Who is the best host for AI and LLM apps?
We can't tell from here. A host that suits a small agency site can be wrong for an API with users in Asia and Europe. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. The guide covers what to compare.
