Incognito VPS vs Lambda
A specialist AI cloud running large H100 and B200 clusters, widely used for serious training runs.
Answer
The main differences between Incognito VPS and Lambda are identity requirements and jurisdictional coverage. Incognito VPS collects no identity and operates in 16 locations, 8 chosen for their legal properties; Lambda requires full KYC and operates in 1. Lambda's core competence is cluster-scale operations — multi-node InfiniBand fabrics for large distributed training — which we do not offer.
What they do better
Lambda operates at a cluster scale we do not — multi-node InfiniBand fabrics for large distributed training are their core competence and not ours.

Frequently asked questions
01 What does Lambda do better than Incognito VPS?
Lambda’s edge over us is cluster scale. Multi-node InfiniBand fabrics for large distributed training are their core competence and not ours.
02 Does Lambda require identity verification?
Lambda demands full identity verification. Incognito VPS never asks for a name, email, phone, or document—at signup or checkout.
03 Does Lambda accept Monero?
Lambda does not accept cryptocurrency in any form. With Incognito VPS, you can settle payments natively in Monero (XMR).
04 Should I switch from Lambda to Incognito VPS?
Choose Incognito VPS if you want no identity checks, crypto-only payment, or coverage outside Lambda's single jurisdiction. Stay with Lambda if you need multi-node InfiniBand fabrics for large distributed training—their core competence, and a scale we don't offer.
