Cost for computational power

Conducting AI and ML tasks require supercomputers to run infinite computations and to process large data sets in order to obtain reliable outputs. Obtaining such computational power for one-time task becomes inefficient for small-medium size businesses. Third-party platforms like Mindsync will allow firms to rent such computational capacity for the duration of their task.
