Frequently Asked Questions
Vercel excels at streaming AI app frontends with edge rendering. Vultr and DigitalOcean provide the compute and bandwidth for embedding pipelines and inference. Cloudflare's edge network handles global delivery with free bandwidth.
Only if you run inference yourself. Most AI websites call hosted models (OpenAI, Anthropic) and just need fast streaming, WebSockets, and a vector database - no GPU required.
Chat-based apps can be bandwidth-heavy due to token streaming. Choose hosts with generous egress (Cloudflare's free tier includes unlimited) or budget carefully.
