Inference on a Budget

9 #1

So ngl this is gonna sound boomer but I spent 18 months getting my /24 off every blocklist under the sun lol

Backstory: got a "clean" IP from some reseller on CloudCone, spun up LLM inference endpoint, within a week Spamhaus https://www.spamhaus.org and friends tagged the whole /24. VRAM was cheap, reputation was not

Method: ticket every 2 weeks, polite, documented. No magic bullet. Kept a spreadsheet of ticket IDs, responses, automated rejections. Escalated to senior tech after 6 months. After 14 months one provider actually replied with human words. Month 18, delisted everywhere.

Total tickets filed: 47. Success rate: patience.

Anyone else doing this AI-hosting dance? What ASN you using?

I am sorry to say that I have observed similar patterns with other ranges. Let us consider that reputation recovery is not a technical problem but a social one. I apologize if this observation is unwelcome.
